A new year resolution?

Image
Wow, the last time i blogged was 2 years back? I wasnt even pregnant with Jireh yet. Now, he is a cheeky little 2 year-old cute boy. On top of that, i have a pretty, big-eyed and domineering 8 month old baby girl. So much to catch up with me huh, blogspot? :) A sudden urge to blog again. Not because i am free, but i guess life is too short and memories are too mich to be remembered. Many said, you will always remember the good moments in your life. True and not true. But im sure there are some precious moments you will forget, no matter how beautiful they are, unless you revisited them (via photologue or blogs or diary). Example. I cant really exactly remember how Jireh looked like when he was pretty much younger. Beautiful memories we had the past 2 years. But i bet you would want to remember as much as possible. And too bad, we cant. And what if, one day should my memory deteroriate, i have blogs to freshen me up. Even if they cant, at least, i can read up my life story, those time...

The psychology of learning

"Pavlov's theory is known as classical conditioning. The distinticive characteristic of this form of learning is that a particular stimulus comes to elicit a response after the learning experience that it did not elicit before. Skinner (1978, 1953) calls this respondent behaviour: the response follow automatically upon the appearance of the stimulus. Skinner, however, argued that most behaviour is not to be accounted for in terms of classical conditioning, for most behaviour is operant behaviour. Operant behaviour is so called because it is behaviour that operates on the environment; we cannot normally identify any particular stimulus produces such operant responding as talking, grasping, play. Operant behaviour is emitted by the organism rather than elicited by stimuli. Skinner does not explain the learning of termsof the patterns of reinforcement that determine its occurence. In classical conditioning what reinforces the behaviour is the unconditioned stimulus, but what rein...

Signboard

[Postdated entry 20 Aug 2008] David took this signboard couple of months ago at a coffeeshop in the West. I find it amusing. The owner might as well save the money from doing that signboard. There will be no chance that a customer will be served based on the requirements to be served. Or just print two words "自助" (self service) would be suffice.  Serving out of convenience is not service at all.  ----------------------------------------------------- "Life is so unloving for a servant who's not serving." - Beauty & the Beast
