An operant class is said to be generic in nature because all responses in the class:

__________________ is established when a functional relation is clearly demonstrated and the influence of confounding variables are ruled out.

We are becoming increasingly worried about kids’ reading skills after the pandemic and have developed a reading app. We are working with a group of kids (ages 4-9). We assign one group of kids to spend one hour a week on the reading app that is focused on helping kids learn to read. Another group of kids (ages 4 – 9) reads books for one hour a week without additional help. We believe those in the app group will gain additional reading skills and more confidence.  Please define the comparison and intervention group and provide who would be in which category according to the scenario above. Why are both groups important here?

Operant extinction occurs when responding decreases because the:

A cooling coil has 2500 CFM of air passing over it. The outdoor air is at 96°F and the indoor air is at 74°F. Calculate the sensible heat change in BTU/hr.
