Complete 2 page APA formatted essay: Classical and Operant Conditioning.

It means that two stimuli that are linked together produce a new learned response in an animal or human. Each of the three stages of the stimuli and responses were given the scientific terms, such as before conditioning, during conditioning and after conditioning. Pavlov’s famous experiment with the dog demonstrated how classical conditioning involved pairing of the previously neutral stimulus. During the experiment he used a bell as the unconditioned stimulus, which was further associated with the food taste. The researcher observed the producing of salivation when food was placed in the dogs mouth. Then he rang the bell and gave the dog food. In several repetitions, the dog salivated to the bell only, showing the conditioned response. To prove the theory, there was conducted an experiment with the cat. An owner was standing in the kitchen and called a cat by knocking the ceramic plate or opening the refrigerator. When the cat was little, it did not come to the kitchen hearing these sounds. In a certain time, the cat associated every opening of the fridge and knocking sounds with the time to have meals.

The other conditioning term, operant, refers to how a body operates on the environment or how human or animals respond to what is presented to them in that environment. Operant conditioning can be thought as a result of learning from the natural consequences of one’s actions. People learn operant conditions every day in their lives. If something one does leads to a positive result, it is more likely to one to do the same thing again. Operant conditioning draws its attention on using reinforcement or punishment to enhance or reduce a behavior. An association then is formed between the certain behavior and its consequences. The experiment with the cat who wants milk. The cat knows that every time the owner is on the kitchen and the cat comes for “sweet-talk” walking around the owner’s legs, it will obviously obtain

A man calls 911 on a cell phone in obvious respiratory distress. This is before technology has been implemented that pinpoints the location of an incoming cell phone call. The man gives the call taker his address as 915 North but the call taker hears 950 North. The call taker says “950?” and the man, thinking the call taker has said “915,” says “yes.” Shortly thereafter, the cell phone goes dead. When the call taker calls the cell phone back, the call taker is sent straight to voice mail and hears the standard message that the voice mailbox is full. Paramedics are dispatched but are dispatched to 950 North instead of 915 North. After checking the same address in neighboring cities, the paramedics are called off.   

             Approximately seven days later, a woman calls and asks local law enforcement to perform a “welfare check” on her brother whom she has not heard from for a few days. She gives the address as 915 North. Paramedics accompany the police and find a man in his apartment who has been deceased for quite some time. One of the paramedics on this call was also on the previous call seven days before and realizes that this must be the address they were looking for. He reports this to his battalion chief. The battalion chief, in turn, reports it to the CAO who notifies the mayor.

The Medical Examiner’s report comes back inconclusive. There is no way to determine the cause of death. There is also no way to determine the time of death with any reasonable proximity, although it is clear the man has been deceased for days. The man’s closest next of kin is his wife who is currently residing in the Dominican Republic. The man’s parents/siblings live in the United States, some of them in Utah.

             Further research conducted by the Fire Department reveals that in a dispatcher training manual, call takers are instructed to repeat numbers a single digit at time (i.e. 9-1-5) in order to avoid the very confusion that was described above. In fact the 15/50 problem is used as an example of why a call taker should repeat back to the caller one digit at a time.

             The City Attorney’s office also researches the issue and instructs the mayor that he does not have an affirmative legal obligation to disclose the potential evidence of negligence to the family.

             Finally, by the time all of this information comes to light, funeral services have already been held for the deceased.

  • Question #1: You are the mayor. What do you do now? Is there other information you’d like to have before you make your decision? Describe potential factors that should be considered before deciding whether or not to tell the family?
  • Question #2: For this question, assume you decide to tell the family something. Who do you tell first and how much do you tell them? Describe potential factors that should be considered before deciding who to tell and what to tell them.

Pre-search ActivitiesA confidential informant has provided your department with detailed information related to a human trafficking operation. The informant has identified and confirmed that the operation is involved in smuggling teenage girls and boys out of the U.S. and force them into prostitution. The informant confirmed that the location of 25 teenagers is contained in the computer of the group’s leader. Detectives involved in the case believe that the data contained in the computer will identify the location of other victims.Conduct the pre-search activities and create the search warrant for this case. The report will be used to establish a baseline for future investigators. Summarize the methods you adopted to accomplish the tasks. Submit the report to the instructor after you complete the tasks.Submission Requirements:Prepare your report in MS Word document, using 12-point Arial font. Remember to cite all sources of information in accordance with the APA format.

1.    To produce heat, an instant heat pack uses a chemical reaction. Discuss the general chemistry behind the heat production by the heat pack (you do not need to discuss the specific reaction that occurs in a heat pack). Also describe the application of the law of conservation of energy to what’s occurring in the heat pack and as the heat spreads to the surrounding environment.

2.    You can use a calorimeter that contains water to find the specific heat of an object. Explain the general procedure involved in the calorimetry to determine the specific heat of a substance. Clearly state the data that would be collected in the calorimetry experiment and how the specific heat of the substance would be calculated.

3.    For an experiment, you have a calorimeter with 350 g of water at 24°C. 175 g of crystalline ammonium nitrate from a cold pack is placed into the calorimeter. When the ammonium nitrate finishes dissolving in the water, the temperature of the water inside the calorimeter is 5.5°C. The total mass of the solution is 525 g and the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g °C (the same as water). What is the enthalpy of dissolving (D
