Recently, I joined thousands of others in a time-honored tradition known as college and, after a week’s worth of classes, decided to expand upon an idea I had about 4 years ago during my vocational retail/customer service training. The idea was to set up a website with a class schedule, notes, downloads, and article links for my fellow classmates. Creating those resources for my classmates and having it actually be useful (even to a limited extent) was rewarding. I decided to use that experience as a template for sharing resources in my college classes. It’s been going well, with none of the files I’ve uploaded (scanned and .pdf converted versions of class handouts) having exceeded my 8MB upload limit. Now, I’d like to do a little more. Over the last 15 years, I’ve managed to amass an extensive digital library on pretty much every topic imaginable, and I want to share some of those subject-relevant files with my classmates. Problem is, most textbooks when converted to e-book result in a hefty file size, 30, 50, 100 MB or more! Obviously, 8MB wasn’t going to work. While I hadn’t found much success solving this issue in the past, I figured “well, it’s been about a year or so since the last time I tried to find a solution, maybe someone devised a workaround since then”. Apparently, someone has.

After several useless Google and GoDaddy Support searches, I found the following gem on the blog, All About Basic:

First, check the root directory of your web hosting for a file named php5.ini. Logging into your ftp should be the fastest way to do this. The following code gets edited into that file. If you don’t have a php5.ini file, create one. Create a plain text file, copy and paste this code, save it as php5.ini (do NOT include the .txt extension), and upload your new file to your hosting’s root directory. This solution is not unlimited; the most you’ll get out of it is 64MB, but that’s certainly better than 8.

Learning
-Classical Conditioning (associative learning)
-Operant Conditioning (associative learning)
-Learning by Observation (observational learning)

=====

Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is also known as Pavlovian Conditioning, or Respondent Conditioning
Conditioned = Learned
Unconditioned = Unlearned

Classical Conditioning Paradigm
Paradigm: Shorthand for describing a procedure

*currently working on graph, will be up sometime feb 11th

Journal Questions
01. Describe the nature of “Classical Condition”, and show how it demonstrates associative learning?
02. Explain the processes of acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization and discrimination.

=====

Operant Conditioning
A response (behavior) with a stimulus (consequence), creates an association which stimulates the initial behavior.

˄ Reinforcer (r) – Reinforces the behavior
01. ˄ Sr+ (Stimulus, Reinforcer, Positive)
02. ˄ Sr- (Stimulus, Reinforcer, Negative)

˅ Punisher (p) – Discourages the behavior
01. ˅ Sp+ (Stimulus, Punisher, Positive)
02. ˅ Sp- (Stimulus, Punisher, Negative)

*people to note: BF Skinner and EC Thorndike

According to David Zinczenko, “fast-food companies are marketing to children a product with proven health hazards and no warning labels.” In other words, Zinczenko believes fast-food companies are liable for their customers obesity due to negligence.
