A device schedules administration of reinforcing rewards consistent with a psychological behavior modification program. The instructions to grant rewards are randomized in response to the subject successfully executing targeted behavior thus making the reinforcement unpredictable to the individual being treated. The device has a base with an indicating surface on which code marks are placed in predetermined locations. The code marks are encoded with respect to instructions to grant or deny a reinforcement. The device also has an opaque mask coextensive with the indicating surface. The mask includes an aperture with an initially closed cover to conceal the code marks from view of the individual. At appropriate time, the cover is opened to reveal the code mark so that the individual can follow instructions whether or not to receive a reward. The device is light weight, portable, convenient to carry and easy to use by the individual.

A measuring device and method is for enabling a user to measure and record changes in emotion during the day and translate it into a relative stress value per day. It may be used to accumulate the positive and negative emotional reactions that a user experiences during a predetermined time period. This method and device will provide a record of the associated distress and eustress and the cumulative effect therefrom on the individual. The user has a visual display of whether or not the emotions felt during a given day are positive or negative. The recognition of the stress level may remind or enable the user to take some action that will counterbalance excessive negative emotions known to contribute to major diseases and engage in activities that reduce or relieve the stress influences on the user before the end of each day.
摘要:
An educational device and method for educating a student comprising a plurality of pieces that are pivotally interconnected at a center, enabling pivotal movement of each piece about the center relative to the others from a device stored position, in which all pieces are superposed in stacked alignment, sequentially through partial deployment, to a deployed position. Each piece carries a portion of an educational image, such as a shape, object or color on one side, and educational indicia on the other side illustrating the image.

A police scene training apparatus is provided. The police scene training apparatus includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a plurality of dowels. Each of the dowels includes a first end secured to the first sidewall and a second end secured to the second sidewall. The plurality of dowels are oriented above and below one another. A plurality of blocks are rotatably disposed about each of the plurality of dowels. Each of the plurality of blocks include a plurality of sides, where at least two of the sides include an image. The sides of the blocks align with one another to form a surface having a plurality of images forming a police investigative scene depiction.
摘要:
An educational device comprising a holder or axle (2) for a plurality of side by side revolvable arms (3) or counters whereby in use the arms revolve by twirling the holder or by manipulating arms so that when placed on a support surface some arms lie on the left hand side of the holder while the remaining arms lie on the right hand side of the holder. The device consists of arms which revolve on a handle (1). It can be manipulated in a number of ways and adapts both to play and to serious educational purpose. In broad educational mode the device is an exploration tool and toy where children can develop skills and play invented games or invent their own. In its main educational use, the device is a mathematics exploration tool and toy; is of a construction which makes it compatible with the decimal system of number among others; and in particular provides a visual-kinaesthetic method for the teaching/learning/understanding/exploration of mathematics.

摘要:
The language wheel has an interchangeable "wheel" with the same words of two languages in corresponding positions on the wheel. Two cursors are coupled together so the when one is manually moved to indicate a particular word, the other indicates the corresponding word. The two cursors are mounted on a pivoted bar which rotates above the language wheel and the cursors move radially in and out on the bar.
摘要:
A method for adaptively teaching content to a user comprises providing a plurality of teaching topics. The method includes sequentially associating a lead problem and a plurality of secondary problems with each of the plurality of teaching topics. Each of the lead problems and the plurality of secondary problems is an open-ended puzzle having a range of solutions and a difficulty rank. The range of solutions for each of the lead problems and the plurality of secondary problems has an optimal solution and a plurality of secondary solutions. A teaching topic is selected and a corresponding lead problem is presented to a user. User provides answer data via a physical input device having enmeshed gears. The user is provided another secondary problem in the selected teaching topic if the answer data matches one of the secondary solutions. The user is provided another lead problem if the answer data matches the optimal solution.
