bro, I have a B.S. in psychology from one of the top ranked schools.mountain muscle said:LOL Stat taking a physiology class?

I've got an M.S., but its not in psych, because yes, I wanted to make some cash.mountain muscle said:Sweet with an MS in Pysch you could get a minimun wage job.

the equation doesn't predict any behavior, only determines the effectiveness of the reinforcement schedule. How can you get the strongest responses (another test would be done to measure this) and what leads to the longest period of extinction once the reinforcement is taken away.mountain muscle said:So take way the controlled variables in a VI schedule of reinforcement and do you really think an equation is reliably predicative of behavior?

excellent response. That is actually the correct one as well. Samote take note.chesty said:I would say that 10 smaller reinforcements would be of better value than 1 large one. IE you will develop a memory to the repeated reinforcements where the 1 large one would be quickly forgotten.
Lestat said:excellent response. That is actually the correct one as well. Samote take note.
I've changed my green karma giving policy so that I give 10% hits now. The idea being, the quanity of green dots doesn't matter, its the message I leave and the sentiment that counts. PLUS, assuming there is a finite number of karma hits I can give (since they subtract from the k total), I can give 10 times MORE hits than if I gave 100%.
I still reserve the 100% and 110% for truly oustanding posts, but those don't come around too often.

yes, part of why this works is because you don't have to give up as much of your stash as QUICKLY. The idea is to give it away at the same overall pace, but with more chances for reinforcement.samoth said:I.E. You don't have to give up as much of your stash, to put it another way. You can argue it any way you want, but it's true.

bro, I don't get shit from the big boys anymoresamoth said:You can give out over 1907 100% hits.
I can give out over 183.
I always give 100%, yet I always gain in karma (before being a mod, to mute that argument.)
Furthermore, I don't get many (full) hits from the big boys, as we are sure that you do.
Sooooo......

Lestat said:bro, I don't get shit from the big boys anymorewow that sounded
but yeah, I can't argue with you in the numbers. I lose karma daily due a :turd: that doesn't like me and loves showing it. I can give out more than you though, and I think our k power decreases as our K does, so we both technically can give out an infinite number right? Just smaller and smaller as time goes on.

lol. man keep that under wraps. I don't have the most stashed, but there will be some major movements in 2007 I can tell you that. Thats where the largest amount of new K is coming into the system now.samoth said:With your bank account gaining interest monthly? Highly doubtful.

millions have been stashes, there are hundreds of thousands coming back monthly.samoth said:
