Answer #1
  • The term behavioral trap was first described by Baer and Wolf (1970) when describing how natural contingencies of reinforcement can operate to promote and maintain generalized behavior changes.
  • For me,for the behaviour I used behaviour trappping is developing exercise behaviour as a party of my everyday routine.Exercising is something i always wanted to take up since I started focusing on health.I was reading about it,watching people going to gym which finally motivated me to take it up.Adter doind it for almost two weeks I started feeling good about myself,I started feeling motivated,optimistic about myself and the world,more energetic and driven to achieve my goals which ultimately lead to me inculcate it in my everyday routine.Now,I make sure I exercise everyday for atleast 2 hours without which my day looks unfinished.
  • By identifying the behaviour I wanted to learn and the articifical reinforcers of reading health articles,talking to people about it and watching people going to gym,made me take it up and then after positive reinforcement of feeling good about myself and all other benefits experienced (natural reinforcer) it has become a desired behaviour now.

We have talked quite a lot about comparative advantage and the benefits of free trade in this class. By focusing on producing what you produce at a lower opportunity cost in comparison to others and trading for things where you have a higher opportunity cost of producing, you can have access to more goods and services than if you tried to produce them all yourself. Another way to think about it is that by putting resources into their best use...

Consider the three main alternate configurations of page tables we have talked about during lecture: hierarchical, hashed, inverted. They are all efforts to address the impacts of very large page tables to physical memory and retrieval latency. Where do you think does the hierarchical table get stored, where does the hashed page table get stored, and where does the inverted table gets stored? What are the main issues to address? For example, the hierarchical PT consists of a number of...

This week, we learn about mixtures and solutions. How many times have you put (or seen someone else put) sugar into iced tea and seen the sugar sink to the bottom? Contrast this approach to making Sweet Tea – where tea is heated up, sugar is dissolved while hot, and then allowed to cool. In Sweet Tea, the sugar stays in solution instead of falling to the bottom. Using your understanding of temperature, mixtures, and solutions, describe why one method...

Speaking Up in Meetings Barbara J. Krumsiek of the Calvert Group recently talked about the style of meetings that take place in her organization: I think it can be a little jarring actually for people who are used to perhaps a little more civility. I think we’re civil, but we’re direct. I don’t like meetings if my direct reports leave the room and turn to somebody and say, “Can you believe someone said that?” And so I try to explain...

2. Workers with different levels of non-labor wealth, such as land, all else equal, have different “minimum piece rates”, that is, different rates (per unit of output) at which they would be able to work. This is because their non-labor assets can generate income that can be used to pay for nutrition. Use this result to draw a graph that features the minimum piece rate at which a worker is able to work on the y-axis and non-labor wealth on...

Write a discussion post : As we have seen, a confidence interval is constructed using the form point estimate±critical value×standard error where the point estimate is the value calculated from the sample (e.g. a sample mean), the critical value is a cutoff value from the normal distribution, and the standard error measures the variability of sample means. The margin of error is the second part of this formula: critical value×standard error which indicates our uncertainty in the estimate. Confidence intervals...

DIscussion : So I'm sure that many of us have been in a grocery store, mall, park or religious establishment where families are hanging out, when, you notice a child misbehaving. I'm sure that we also notice how the child's caregiver(s) react to the child's behavior. Some may ignore the child, some may hold their child, some walk the child out into a different environment, and some may even hit their child. For this post, I would like for us...
