People who play slot machines in gambling casinos usually exhibit steady, rapid rates of responding because slot machines operate on a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement.
A variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is one where a reinforcer (in this case, a win or payout) is delivered after an unpredictable number of responses (pulling the lever or pressing the spin button). This schedule is very effective in maintaining and strengthening behavior because the reinforcement is delivered randomly, and the individual never knows when the next win will occur.
The key characteristics of a variable ratio schedule that make it so effective in sustaining behavior like playing slot machines are:
The variable ratio schedule is widely used in many gambling games, such as slot machines, because it is highly effective in maintaining and reinforcing the gambling behavior, even in the face of frequent losses. This schedule of reinforcement is one of the reasons why gambling can be so addictive and difficult to stop once initiated.

The memory error you are referring to is called the misinformation effect or the memory conformity effect.
The misinformation effect occurs when a person’s recall of an event is altered or distorted after being exposed to misleading or inaccurate information about that event. In this case, when the first witness confidently stated that the assailant was wearing a green shirt (even though it was actually blue), it influenced the memory and recollection of the other witnesses.
Even though the other witnesses initially saw the blue shirt, the misinformation provided by the first witness caused them to incorporate that incorrect detail into their own memories. As a result, when interviewed by the police later, almost all the witnesses reported seeing a green shirt, conforming to the misinformation they had received earlier.
This phenomenon demonstrates how memories can be influenced and distorted by external misinformation, especially when it comes from a confident source or when there is a social pressure to conform to a particular account of events.
The misinformation effect has important implications in various contexts, such as eyewitness testimony, news reporting, and the spread of misinformation in social media, among others.

See lessA group of students must conduct an experiment to determine how the location of an applied force on a classroom door affects the rotational motion of the door. The rotational inertia of the door about its hinges is known. The initial angular velocity of the door is zero. The students must determine how to test the relationship between a torque exerted on the door and the change in the angular velocity of the door. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible. How should the experiment be conducted to test the relationship between the torque exerted on the door and the change in the door's angular velocity in a way that minimizes experimental uncertainty?
The students should perform several trials, applying the same force at different horizontal distances from the hinges.

You could of course put the question the other way round and ask what could be less British than a cup of tea, given that tea is made from plants grown in India or China and often sweetened by sugar from the Caribbean. It is one of the ironies of british national identity – or perhaps it says everything about our national identity – that the drink which has become the worldwide caricature of britishness has nothing indigenous about it, but is the result of centuries of global trade and a complex imperial history. what is the author’s viewpoint in this excerpt? indian tea is more delicious than tea from china. drinking tea is very popular in the caribbean. many people around the world now drink tea, but britain was the one to make it popular. it is ironic that tea is the symbol of britain when tea does not come from britain at all.
