Abstract:
A novel multiple shape memory hydrogel is fabricated based on two reversible physical interactions. The multiple shape memory property is endowed by a simple treatment of soaking in NaOH or NaCl solutions to form chitosan microcrystal or chain-entanglement crosslinks as temporary junctions.

Role of Shaping in Operant Conditioning
987
Shaping is a technique used in operant conditioning to train complex behaviors by rewarding successive approximations toward the target behavior. This method is necessary because organisms are unlikely to perform complex behaviors spontaneously. Instead, shaping breaks down the desired behavior into small, manageable steps.
The steps involved in shaping begin with reinforcing any response that resembles the desired behavior. For example, parents might praise a child for picking up one toy. As...

System of Memory
7.3K
Memory is categorized into three major systems: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). These systems differ in their capacity and the duration for which they can hold information. Sensory memory captures raw sensory input from the environment, holding it for just a few seconds or less. For example, on hearing a brief, loud sound, like a car horn honking, the sound seems to linger in the mind for a moment even after it stops. This is an instance of sensory memory...
