"Little Albert and Classical Conditioning"

The original article by Watson and Rayner was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 1920. There is a reprint of the original article which can be found in the South University Online Library. Here is the reference for the article reprint: Watson, J. B., & Rayner, R. (2000).

There have been several classic experiments to study and describe classical conditioning; one of the more famous is the Little Albert experiment. Over the years, the experiment has lost some of its validity due to numerous interpretations by several introductory psychology textbooks. It is, therefore, beneficial to go back to the original (or primary) source and read what the authors of the experiment themselves had to say.

Read the article and answer the following questions:

In the study, what are unconditioned stimulus (US), conditioned stimulus (CS), and conditioned response (CR)?

Explain the concept of generalization in regards to Watson and Rayner's ability to condition Albert to react to different stimuli such as masks, other animals, and a fur coat?

Using examples from the study, explain the concept of extinction

Sam Strother and Shawna Tibbs are vice presidents of Mutual of Seattle Insurance Company and co-directors of the company’s pension fund management division. An important new client, the North-Western Municipal Alliance, has requested that Mutual of Seattle present an investment seminar to the mayors of the represented cities, and Strother and Tibbs, who will make the actual presentation, have asked you to help them by answering the following questions.

a. What are the key features of a bond?

b. What are call provisions and sinking fund provisions? Do these provisions make bonds more or less risky?

c. How does one determine the value of any asset whose value is based on expected future cash flows?

d. How is the value of a bond determined? What is the value of a 10-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10% annual coupon if its required rate of return is 10%?

e.

(1) What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?

(2) What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd Would we now have a premium or a discount bond?
declined to 7%?

(3) What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial cal-culator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)

Mini Case Sam Strother and Shawna Tibbs. (Chapter 5, p,238). Please respond to the following questions, a, b, c, d, e (1); e(2); e(3).

Write a method (in Java) that will return output as stated below:

toThePowerOf(int): Applies exponentiation to the existing PolyTerm. For example, 2.4x^3 to the power of 3 should return 13.824x^9 while 2.4x^3 to the power of -3 should return 0.0723x^-9

Respective JUnit test for this question:

public void testToThePowerOf() {
       assertEquals(1, t1.toThePowerOf(3).coefficient, 0.0001);
       assertEquals(3, t1.toThePowerOf(3).exponent);

       assertEquals(13.824, t2.toThePowerOf(3).coefficient, 0.0001);
       assertEquals(9, t2.toThePowerOf(3).exponent);

       assertEquals(0.0723, t2.toThePowerOf(-3).coefficient, 0.0001);
       assertEquals(-9, t2.toThePowerOf(-3).exponent);

       assertEquals(-0.2962, t3.toThePowerOf(-3).coefficient, 0.0001);
       assertEquals(0, t3.toThePowerOf(-3).exponent);

       assertEquals(46.656, t4.toThePowerOf(3).coefficient, 0.0001);
       assertEquals(-6, t4.toThePowerOf(3).exponent);

       assertEquals(0.0016, t4.toThePowerOf(-5).coefficient, 0.0001);
       assertEquals(10, t4.toThePowerOf(-5).exponent);

       currentMethodName = new Throwable().getStackTrace()[0].getMethodName();
   }

Main Function:

public class PolyTermTest {
   public static int score = 0;
   public static String result = "";
   public static String currentMethodName = null;
   ArrayList methodsPassed = new ArrayList();
  
   PolyTerm t1, t2, t3, t4;

   @BeforeEach
   public void setUp() throws Exception {
       currentMethodName = null;
       t1 = new PolyTerm(1, 1); //x
       t2 = new PolyTerm(2.4, 3); //2.4x^3
       t3 = new PolyTerm(-1.5, 0); //-1.5
       t4 = new PolyTerm(3.6, -2); //3.6x^-2

A pharmaceutical company is testing a new drug to increase memorization ability. It takes a sample of individuals and splits them randomly into two groups. After the drug regimen is completed, all members of the study are given a test for memorization ability with higher scores representing a better ability to memorize. Those 23 participants on the drug had an average test score of 31.622 (SD = 4.794) while those 21 participants not on the drug had an average score of 32.04 (SD = 5.335). You use this information to create a 95% confidence interval for the difference in average test score. What is the margin of error? Assume the population standard deviations are equal.

Use Tinkercad or any other tool to implement the following project

You have two Arduinos which are connected using serial cable

Arduino#1 is connected to the following components

1-LCD, , 2-DC motor, 3-Temperature Sensor

Arduino#2 is connected to an Alarm (Buzzer) + LED

You may use other components such as resistors, function generator, power supply, relay, etc.

The system should do the following:

1. Read the temperature every 1.5 seconds (DO NOT USE DELAY).
2. Starting at t=6 seconds, calculate the average temperature (Tavg) during the last 6 seconds. Repeat this process every 1.5 seconds (moving average).
3. Write the Tavg on the LCD.
4. If the Tavg is larger than 29 ̊C, drive a DC motor (fan) with 20% duty cycle. And then increase the speed of the fan with 10% for every 2 ̊C increase above 29. If the temperature goes below 27 C, turn the DC motor off.
5. If the Temperature become more than 35 ̊C, then the alarm will work on Arduino#2 and the LED will be ON
