Pavlov once said "control your conditions and you will see order" unfortunately a basketball game does not end itself well to controlling variables. I do think a within-subject design would be the way to go here though rather than between-group if you could control all the variables.
Define targeting in observable and measureable terms. Run a study using past clips to better operationally define "targeting" based on interobserver agreement data. While actually officiating, have any targeting call be reviewed following the game. If group agreement with your call is greater than x percent, give an incentive of money and a running stat line for the official themselves that is public. Thoughts?
I think it's important to consider the actual effects of something like this scientifically. So often things like these just get a pass because the consequence is assumed rather than scientifically demonstrated. It could very well be that building a 55 million dollar facility for 17-23 year olds has the exact opposite effect of "keeping kids out of trouble "
They had this lions fandom debate on 97.1 yesterday. It came down to why would you watch when they're putting a horrible product on the field. Sorry to quote Mike valenti, but my point is there's a good reason for it. Experimental analysis of behavior tells us that reinforcement distributed on a variable ratio schedule produces high resistance to extinction. The Lions win infrequently, therefore people continue to watch. There are other things at work, but this is the same thing that cause gambling addiction.
I thought it was somewhat humorous to see him use a hand warmer at Saturday's game when no one else was. Not knocking him. I'd be doing the same if I came from Australia and was fielding long snaps.
I believe he will be funding multiple studies this year as an apology for appearing in sharknado the 3rd. I watched the first ten minutes. I just don't get it.
Work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and... just figure it out. Be best friends with Ben Affleck.
has anyone considered that the reason coach Beilein's teams foul so little is because he has the 2 foul and you sit policy? Essentially it's a response cost contingency for the group and I'd bet it has a pretty strong effect if you were to experimentally manipulate.
There is some very interesting work in Behavior analysis right now applying Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior and using adaptive networks, reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms in combination.
Apparently my desperation is somehow greater than my love for michigan sports because I'm just making an account now after following this blog for forever. what kind of dog do you have? We have a female German shepherd and can't find a place in AA after looking for a few weeks now. Any help would be fantastic.
