Article Abstract:

There is almost no point in arguing with the idea presented by Donahoe, Palmer, and Burgos concerning stimulus-response. However, critical observations from fellow behavior analysts proved that certain positions must be taken into consideration. One point to consider was the sample being not appropriate to represent the field. Additional points were given regarding actual data from real animals using traditional procedures to support for the claim of discrepancies committed by the presentors.

A theory of writing and experimental writing in the age of telecommunications: a response to Steven Seidman

Article Abstract:

Poststructural theorists have opened a new dimension to the discipline of sociology. They have instigated the discourse on the relationship between poststructural thought and the development of information and communication technologies. Their writing experiments have also increased the understanding on the effects of telecommunications on social life and at the same time promoted the postmodern critique of the human sciences.

Some potential contributions of reinforcement and consumer-demand theory to reducing cocaine use

Article Abstract:

More effective techniques for motivating cocaine users to stop or reduce consumption are imperative, as dependency on the substance is stable or increasing. Knowledge of reinforcing effects of cocaine use can be applied to minimize drug use in clinical populations and, in combination with the consumer-demand theory, may be effectively utilized in formulating strategies for reducing cocaine consumption.
