- ... were developed through experience -they were learned-hence the relationship between stimulus and response. An association is to the learning psychologist what the "atom" is to the physicist the "gene" is to the geneticist. Pavlov's contribution is related to the total learning process in higher animals. The reflex concept had a tremendous influence on the process of psychological thinking. It also caused an enormous spate of research in the psychology ... for example, behaviorists such E.R Guthrie, C.L Hull, and B.F Skinner; who based their explanation of psychological actions as the conditioned or learned responses to extermal and internal stimuli(conditioned reflex.) Pavlov's reports of conditioning experiments and his book "Reflexes of the Brain" was translated into 29 different languages. There is a town in Russia, named Pavlovo, in the memory of Ivan Pavlov. It is a scientific community, where research laboratories and neuropsychic clinics and young children's experimental schools flourish.Furthermore, Pavlov's importance is that he brought back to life the subject of association, that had been forgotten sicne Aristotle. His findings, related to the conditional reflex, are the basis ...

When Joan was about 12 years old, she began to hear "voices" of St. Michael, St. Catherine ... These voices told her that it was her divine mission to free her country from the English and help the dauphin gain the French throne. They told her to cut her hair, dress in man's uniform and to pick up the arms. By 1429 the English with the help of their Burgundian allies occupied Paris and all of France north of the Loire. The resistance was minimal due to lack of leadership and a sense of hopelessness. Henry VI of England was claiming the French throne.

- ... family in Eisenach, Thuringia - until recently part of East Germany. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was a talented violinist, and taught his son the basic skills of string-playing; another relation, the organist at Eisenach's most important church, instructed the young boy on the organ. In 1695, Johann Sebastian was orphaned; he went to live with his older brother, Johann Christoph, in Ohrdruf. Johann Christoph was a professional organist, and continued his younger brother's education on that instrument, as well as on the harpsichord. After several years in this arrangement, Johann Sebastian won a scholarship to study in Luneberg, Northern Germany, and so left his brother's tutelage. A master of several instruments while still in his teens, Johann Sebastian first found employment at the age of 18 as a "lackey and violinist" in a court orchestra in Weimar; soon after, ...
- 25038: A Critique of "Gone to Soldiers" by Marge Piercy
- ... me a much better understanding of the cultural and social issues of the World War two era. I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such as the unavailability of stockings and society's negative attitude towards women wearing pants. These issues were ones that I had never thought about before. It amazes me that only fifty years ago a woman could not wear pants to work. Ruthie's friend was sent home to change for wearing loose fitting red pants because they were considered racy. It is equally surprising to me that women still have to wear hose with our skirts or be ... from a white male society into a much more diverse culture and still expect women to wear uncomfortable hose. Piercy made complete sense throughout the entire book and most importantly she kept my attention. Piercy's point of view was biased favorably towards American Jews. I enjoyed the book because it kept my attention on the individual lives of people in the midst of war instead of the battles fought ...

- ... but could not prove it scientifically. Antoine Lavoisier and Dalton are responsible for the discovery of 90 natural elements. Dalton also explained the variations of water vapor in the atmosphere, the base of meteorology. Dalton s atomic theory says that each element contained its own number of atoms. Each element had its own size and weight. Dalton s idea said that all things are made of small bits of matter this bits of matter where too small to be seen even with a microscope. Scientist began to think these small bits of matter ... combined a chemical change took place. Dalton assumed that there was a special pattern in the elements and was partly responsible for the periodic table. Dalton in 1787 started to keep a journal. In Dalton s journal he wrote about more than two hundred thousand observations. In 1793 he wrote a book about Meteorological observations. Dalton went to Paris in 1822 to discuss his theories with the other men of ...

- ... addition of water vapor to dry air. The increase in pressure was the same as the pressure of the added water. By doing this experiment, John established a relationship between vapor pressure and temperature. John s interest in gases arose from his studies of meteorology. He had weather equipment that was with him at all times and he was constantly studying weather and atmosphere. He also kept a journal throughout his ... stated the law of porpotions: the weights of elements always combine with each other in small whole number ratios. Later that year John published his first list of atomic weights and symbols, giving chemistry it s own language. Over the next couple years John began to lecture and continually experiment. In his lectures reported the experiments, and published them in a book in 1808. His book , A New System of Chemical ... book which gave more evidence for his theory. On July 28, 1844 John died of a stroke at the age of 78. John was buried with kingly honors in Manchester. Because of his popularity, John s body was viewed by over 400,000 people. John is honored with a statue and a large monument. Without question John Dalton s biggest contribution to science was the atomic theory as well as ...
