Behaviorism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) - 0 views

  • Loosely speaking, behaviorism is an attitude. Strictly speaking, behaviorism is a doctrine
  • claims that psychology should concern itself with the behavior of organisms
  • Methodological behaviorism is a normative theory about the scientific conduct of psychology
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • purports to explain human and animal behavior in terms of external physical stimuli, responses, learning histories, and (for certain types of behavior) reinforcements
  • Psychological behaviorism is a research program within psychology.
  • Analytical or logical behaviorism is a theory within philosophy about the meaning or semantics of mental terms or concepts
  • says that the very idea of a mental state or condition is the idea of a behavioral disposition or family of behavioral tendencies.
  • Psychology is the science of behavior. Psychology is not the science of mind. Behavior can be described and explained without making reference to mental events or to internal psychological processes. The sources of behavior are external (in the environment), not internal (in the mind). In the course of theory development in psychology, if, somehow, mental terms or concepts are deployed in describing or explaining behavior, then either (a) these terms or concepts should be eliminated and replaced by behavioral terms or (b) they can and should be translated or paraphrased into behavioral concepts.

Classics in the History of Psychology -- Skinner (1948) - 0 views

  • Whenever we present a state of affairs which is known to be reinforcing at a given drive, we must suppose that conditioning takes place
  • The bird happens to be executing some response as the hopper appears; as a result it tends to repeat this response.
  • effect appears to depend upon the rate of reinforcement
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • the shorter the intervening interval, the speedier and more marked the conditioning
    • Minjie Kim
       
      basically, the more you "reinforce" the faster the response will take to become a habit.
  • the longer the interval, the greater the number of intervening responses emitted without reinforcement. The resulting extinction cancels the effect of an occasional reinforcement.
    • Minjie Kim
       
      the less you reinforce, the more the habit will be lost. like how with some things (like art or a sport) you need to keep practicing to be good at it. If you quit practicing altogether, you'll lose your ability to do whatever it is. That's basically what extinction is.

How to Skydive - Skydiving, Equipment, History, Facts and Statistics - 0 views

      this is a good site
  • well, almost. More often than not, the minimum age requirement for skydiving is 18 years old. However, there are some places that allow 16-year olds to participate in the sport.
  • First of all, if this is your first time sky diving, you will be given a lecture about the sport that would last for at least 4 hours.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Aside from that, you will also get to try on the skydiving outfit and other equipment that can weigh as much as 35 pounds.
  • Those who weigh 200 to 230 pounds are very much welcome to sky dive as long as they are in good shape.
  • On the other hand, for those who are between 230 to 250 pounds may also sky dive provided that they in really good shape
  • Note that skydivers freefalling in a group just use their hands to tell each other about their situation. It’s just too noisy to talk!
  • a single jump is only limited to an 80-second freefall time.
  • To avoid injuries when landing, a sky diver must deploy his parachute around 2000 to 2500 feet.
  • The price of skydiving actually varies from one drop zone to another. More often than not, the price of the S/L course ranges from $120 to $150. Then, you also have to pay for the AFF course, which ranges from $250 to $300. And if you are still a beginner sky diver, don’t forget that you also have to pay for the tandem jump (when someone is strapped to you and controls the jump and landing), which is worth $140 up to $200.
  • Let this exhilarating moment be captured and prepare to pay additional $50 to $75.
