Post-reinforcement pause is a pause in responding that typically occurs after the delivery of the reinforcer on fixed-ratio and fixed-interval schedules of reinforcement.

I can control pause rewind and fast-forward my dreams is it normal?

The ability to control your dreams, in the sense of becoming aware that you are dreaming and determining what happens in the dream, is called lucid dreaming. Not everyone is able to have lucid dreams, but there is nothing abnormal about it, either. Whether achieved through conscious effort or without trying, lucid dreaming is a sort of "hiccup" in the awakening function of your mind. One fraction of your consciousness becomes awakened just enough to be aware that a dream is taking place, while the rest of your mind remains asleep.As far as being able to "pause, rewind and fast-forward your dreams," I suspect that is rather unusual. Without any clinical research or reports from carefully controlled studies from sleep labs, I would have to suggest that in this case, you were just dreaming.


What are spontaneuous things to do?

If I would tell you, they would not be spontaneous anymore.Seriously spontaneous thing is something that spurs into your mind unexpectedly.It's automatic and drives from the within. It is something that you do without someone telling to do it and without it being part of your routine.Spontaneous is something you do without planning it beforehand. It happens out of the heat of the moment. Effortlessly.For example. You have planned a route and on the way come to a beautiful scenery and decide to take a short walk just enjoying the moment. The pause on your journeywas not planned, it occurred when the option presented itself.Or perhaps there is a party, and someone decides to give a speech. He starts speaking, out of his heart, having not planned it ahead.Or a little boy (a toddler) kisses a girl of same age. Something surprisingand natural.Usually spontaneous things are nice things, fun things or irrational things. They always sprung out of emotion.But there is always a dark side to this, some people have the tendency to spontaneous violence, which is always unprovoked. This is not the same as automatic reaction to a provocation.Reaction is always, a reaction and thus is not spontaneous.


Why r modern inventions making people lazy?

I think that modern inventions make people lazy because they make everything easier. The car, for instance, allows people to travel long distances without having any physical strain on their body. The television is something that people sit in front of for hours on end until they have made an imprint of their butt on their couch and 7 hours a day of channel 35 is second nature. The fact that people can now watch TV shows in high definition and record, pause, rewind, or fast forward through their favorite programs isn't helping. Video games also play a large part in laziness. For some people, video games can be just as addictive as drugs. I recently dealt with a customer at Gamestop that sold every single one of his games, and mentioned selling some of his articles of clothing, just so he could pay for his subscription to World of Warcraft. People have adapted to making the simple things simpler, and forms of entertainment such as participation in sports seems far fetched to many. But modern technology also shares the blame with work. People have little free time in recent years because most of us spend most that time working. Such a dedication for the next paycheck brings more work home. when the work is finished, the only thing people want to do is lazily relax. Fast food restaurants are used more frequently to fit into a busy schedule, and exercise is a painful thought for many who just returned home from a long day. --Trey G.


Why are left and right reversed in a mirror but not up and down?

Our bodies are fairly symmetrical about a vertical plane, i.e. the right side is an opposite image of the left. (If we fold ourselves along a vertical line from head to toes, then each bodily side accommodates the other.) This does not apply to the horizontal plane, where the head stands in opposition to our feet.________________Another way to imagine this is to see yourself in front of and facing a mirror, but lying on your left side. You can see that your left [bottom] and right [top] sides still seem "reversed" by the mirror. You can also see that your head and feet are not reversed. A mirror image is a little like walking into a wall of soft plaster or clay, leaving a 'negative' image of yourself.Go here for a better answer:Why%20do%20mirrors%20reverse%20only%20left%20and%20right%20but%20not%20up%20and%20down%20too.Comment: Here is the answer (without going into too many details).This does answer the question.A plane mirror reverses the object ONLY in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. That's ALL it does.However people often perceive this as a left right reversal with front back unchanged. That's the "psychology of perception" not physics.
