Answer to Question 1

False . An extinction burst is a rapid increase in the frequency and/or intensity of the target behavior following cessation of reinforcement.

Answer to Question 2

Extinction is characterized by a gradual decrease in the frequency or amplitude of the target behavior. The decrease is typically not immediate. Often, extinction is accompanied by an extinction burst, which is an initial increase in the frequency of the response. In addition, there can be an initial increase in the amplitude of the responsemeaning that the intensity of the behavior may increase before it decreases. Extinction is also characterized by spontaneous recovery, which means that the target behavior typically reemerges after it has diminished. This is typically short-lived if the extinction procedure remains in place.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
