Document Summary
Within subject experimental designs are susceptible to participants showing improvement due to more experience (practice effect) Between subject design: worry about the differences between subjects & how that would affect the design set up. The major advantage to mode over other measures of central tendency is that it is more valid when dealing with non-numerical data: ex fav ice cream, colour etc. The web module discussed how the body elicits compensatory responses following the taste of coke. The body produces more insulin as the cr. Coke has a sweet taste: this is done to restore homeostasis in the body. Successive approximation is gradually shaping small behaviors leading to a complex behavior: use when teaching complex behavior. Which of the following best describes a similarity bw classical/instrumental conditioning: both involve stimuli that indicate if a contingency is valid: classical conditioning uses involuntary behavior, instrumental conditioning uses voluntary behavior.
