when you find yourself composing the following paragraph just because you and your study buddies think that it is completely hilarious:
"In the beginning, Dr. Higbee planned for generalization. And he organized data, and he saw that it was good. And he found classroom space, and said, let us plan our time to teach of Operant Conditioning. And students came to him to learn to do as he did. And he explained that behavior is a function of it's consequences, and he showed them how to take data and plan treatments. And he gave them orange flash cards, and they were grateful.
And Dr. Higbee positively reinforced the generalization of their graphing behavior contingent on their accurate respones. So they wrote a behavioral definition of hydration which stated, "the act of pouring liquid into the oral cavity, and then using the muscles in the esophagus to swallow the aforementioned liquid." And they calculated the time he talked and the number of drinks he took. And they collaborated with IOA, and they saw that they were accurate. And they graphed the respones, and they said, "Let us go down to the front of the room, for there is space there to present our data to him, and that will give Dr. Higbee an Establishing Operation for giving us A's." And so they presented their data to him, and he saw that it was good, and he was happy."
Sickening huh?
We're giving it to him tomorrow with our graphs... hehehe.
