Matching law

Reinforcement is the process of developing a behavior based on the response to an unconditioned stimulus. The probability of the behavior being repeated is greatly increased by following the behavior with a positive consequence, and is reduced if the behavior is followed by a negative consequence, which relates to the law of effect. There are two types of reinforcers that can be used to reinforce a behavior. The first type is called the primary reinforce. This type of reinforcer is used in conjunction with natural, basic, biological needs such as food, water, or sex. This type of reinforcement occurs naturally rather than having to be learned. In essence, primary reinforcement takes a stimulus such as thirst that is essential to our species’ survival: by drinking a glass of water, we are able to alleviate this need. The other type of reinforcer is the secondary reinforcer. The secondary reinforcer is learned rather than naturally occurring. The value of these reinforcers must be learned instead of being naturally occurring. Currency would be an example of…

Do as you are told and you shall receive an award, however break these rules and you shall receive a punishment. The Law of Effect states that when we do something that satisfies us that we will be more likely to keep doing it in order to get that response, and if it discomforts us in any way we will be less likely to do it again. Within this law comes the theory of Operant Conditioning, meaning that we learn that our behaviors will either earn us rewards or punishments. How this works is we…

England when two girls in Leicestershire were raped and murdered. Thousands of local men voluntarily provided DNA samples following movements pushing towards this method, but none of the samples matched the evidence found at the crime scenes. Soon thereafter, one man confessed to providing a sample for a friend who paid him to do so. Investigators obtained a real sample of the friend, Colin Pitchfork, and concluded that he was the killer due to matching DNA segments. Later, he then confessed to…

The ability to classify fingerprints using computer-based technology began in 1970 (Saferstein, 2015). Then, in 1999, AFIS was put into service (Saferstein, 2015). The advantage to the AFIS system is that the computer can quickly scan the large database of millions of fingerprints to find a match saving valuable time for criminal investigations (Saferstein, 2015). Even more impressive is the ability of AFIS to search with incredible speed up to ten fingerprint comparisons at a time…

system than do independent campaign expenditures, unregulated issue ads, and “bundled” contributions from lobbyists. New rules, attitudes, limits, reporting rules, public scrutiny, and the Internet have Congress-members tip-toeing. Carney illustrates that money equals speech is a myth because, if it were true, all election laws would be unconstitutional. Although the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United may affect core regulations in the future, limits on campaign money, the soft-money…
