Cardiac arrest results in death within several minutes unless the heart is restarted. The amazing thing about the heart is that it rarely just stops dead without warning. Even when no pulse is detected, the heart may still be in fibrillation (quivering) and it is possible to restart it if an electric shock is delivered using an appropriate medical device. If you come across a collapsed person with no pulse, call an ambulance and start CPR until help arrives.

Can heartbeat restart spontaneously after death?

Death occurs when the person is without the functions of their brain (Some brain cells live on,meaning the brain didnt "die"). Prior to that, the person is not dead, regardless of what the heart is doing. If they are not dead, the heart is not restarting after death, but may continue to beat if the nerves send their last messages after death to the heart. It can happen. But its extremely unlikely.


Describe different types of cardiopulmonary arrest?

Cardiopulmonary arrest can be classified into two main types: cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating effectively, leading to a cessation of blood flow, often due to arrhythmias or heart conditions. Respiratory arrest, on the other hand, results from the inability to breathe, which can be caused by choking, drowning, or severe respiratory illnesses. Additionally, there is asystole, a form of cardiac arrest characterized by the absence of electrical activity in the heart, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA), where the heart shows electrical activity but fails to pump blood effectively.

What would happen if a subject comes to expect a reward after every reponse what will happen if the reinforcement stops?

If a subject comes to expect a reward after every response, they are likely to develop a strong association between the behavior and the reward, leading to habitual response patterns. When the reinforcement stops, the subject may initially exhibit frustration or confusion due to the absence of the expected reward. Over time, this could lead to a decline in the behavior, as the motivation diminishes without the reinforcement, a phenomenon known as extinction. In some cases, the subject might also exhibit increased attempts to elicit the reward, known as persistence, before ultimately giving up.
