Kiddie ride. A kiddie ride - or kids' ride - is a coin-operated amusement ride for small children. Kiddie rides are commonly available in amusement parks, arcades, malls, hotel game rooms and outside supermarkets and discount department stores.
Adaptive strategy theory systematically deals with the observation that crime is gener- ally goal-directed and occurs across cultures (see Ellis, 1990; Rowe, 1997), whereas life history theory examines social and perceptual cues for the unconscious adoption of various strategies (Hill, Ross, & Low, 1997).
The functional definition allows us to identify adaptive traits, while the historical definition allows us to identify adaptations. Adaptive traits are those that increase the fitness of an organism [in a given environment]. Adaptations are adaptive traits that got selected for and remained. To understand the difference: vestigial organs are adaptations, but they are no longer adaptive. In other words, they were adaptive at one point and got selected for, therefore they are adaptations.
