Using the appropriate equations, predict the effects in each scenario.
A.Vessels X and Y have the same diameter.X is 5 cm long and Y is 10 cm long.Which has the faster velocity of flow for the same fluid?
B.A blood vessel has a radius of 4 cm.Vasoconstriction reduces the radius to 1 cm.In order to maintain the same flow, by what factor must pressure increase?
C.The blood vessel in B above dilates from 1 cm to 4 cm.Does the flow rate increase or decrease?
D.A new subdivision is built between your house and the water storage tower.If the water company makes no adjustments, will the water pressure at your house change? If so, in which direction? Why?
Conditioned Stimulus
A previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.
Fixed Ratio
A schedule of reinforcement where a response is reinforced only after a specified number of responses.
Classical Conditioning
A learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus.
Continuous Reinforcement
A reinforcement schedule in which a desired behavior is reinforced each time it occurs, leading to rapid learning.
