They would have one third as much chance of completing college, one third as much chance of becoming a professional man, twice as much chance of becoming unemployed, and about one-seventh as much chance of earning $10,000 a year.

Case Studies Applied Behavioral Analysis I PS306-01 January 26, 2013 The necessary foundation of operant conditioning is the fact that behavior can be increased or decreased after the appearance of a consequence. Even though it may seem like a simple start, the use of operant conditioning procedures might be affected by several different factors. According to our text, Cooper, Heron, & Howard, (2007) reinforcement will always increase behaviors; if it doesn’t increase the behavior then it is not reinforcement. Reinforcers are extra effective when giving without delay after the behavior occurs. This is called a Reinforcement contingency is used regularly used in ABA practice.

The Dukan Diet Plan General Overview The diet put forth is based on a high protein diet, that targets minimal consumption of carbohydrates and proteins. Dr. Pierre Dukan has more than 30 years of experience in healthy weight loss and eating patterns. The weight loss diet consists of eating low-fat, low-carb, and high protein foods such as starchy vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, fish, seafood, eggs, fat-free dairy products, veal, and lean meats. The diet doesn't restrict you in eating on few types of foods, but in turn has a policy of "all you can eat" philosophy. Originally the diet was constructed for obese people wanting to lose weight desperately.
A test is considered valid when it measures the way it says it does. Content validity, construct validity, and criterion validity are the three types of validity. Content validity measures how well a test samples a universe of items. Construct validity examines how well a test reflects an underlying construct or idea behind a test or measurement tool. How well a test reflects some criterion that occurs in either present or future is criterion validity.
The DSM-IV provides criteria for generalized anxiety which can be used to measure an individual’s levels of anxiety. Bahrke and Morgan (1978) found that acute physical exercise had a significant positive effect in reducing levels of state anxiety. They amassed a large sample of 75 participants, splitting into 3 groups; Exercise, Meditation, and Control group. Participants in the exercise condition carried out 20 minutes of exercise at 70% intensity, while the meditation group carried out Bensons relaxation response (Benson, 1975) for 20 minutes, and the control group simply rested for 20 minutes. While exercise was shown to have a significant effect in reducing anxiety, it showed to be no more effective than mediating or resting, suggesting the possibility that the reduction in anxiety is down to distraction, rather than the activity itself.
