Psychologists like B. F. Skinner have studied how we can use operant conditioning to change the behavior of people and animals. Drawing on your personal experience, choose a person or animal whose behavior you want to change. (You may select your own behavior for this question if you wish.) How could you use operant conditioning to change the behavior of this person or animal?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe your plan to change this behavior. Be sure to mention what type of reinforcer and reinforcement schedule you would use and explain why you made those particular choices. Include information from class materials, readings, and research on operant conditioning to support your discussion.

PY625 Case #2  Analysis

The Brown Family. A family, Sheila and Roy Brown and their daughter, Heather (age 14), had been seeing Anne, a licensed professional counselor, for about three months.  They had sought counseling “to save their marriage and help Heather deal with the conflict in the home.”  During that time, Anne had three family sessions and the rest were couple sessions.  After the above sessions, she suggested that seeing Sheila and Roy individually for a few sessions might be helpful.  She saw them both for three individual sessions but, after his third individual session, Roy decided to no longer participate in counseling.  After he terminated, Anne continued to see Sheila alone and sometimes with Heather for a period of four months.  She also saw Heather individually for three sessions.  During this time, the marriage deteriorated and divorce proceedings were started.  A week ago, Anne received a subpoena from Roy’s lawyer to produce all of your records pertaining to Sheila and Heather’s treatment.  Sheila has told you not to comply with the subpoena.

Psychologists have found that human memory involves three processes: encoding information into memory, storing information in memory, and retrieving information from memory. Psychologists have also identified specific strategies to help people encode, store, and retrieve information. How can this research help you study for this class more efficiently? What strategies could help you encode and store information in your memory as you study? What strategies could help you retrieve this information when you take a test?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe how you could use specific memory strategies to improve your study skills. Be sure to explain how each strategy will improve how you encode, store, or retrieve information in memory. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on memory to support your discussion.

Psychologists have identified five main personality traits, often called the "Big Five" or the five-trait model. Think about the "Big Five" personality traits we studied in class. Then select a real or fictional character from literature, film, television, or public life. How could the "Big Five" model be used to understand the character's personality?

In a multi-paragraph essay, explain what is meant by a "personality trait" according to the "Big Five" model, define each of the "Big Five" traits, and describe the character's personality using the "Big Five" traits. For each trait, be sure to provide evidence from the character's thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on personality to support your discussion.

Psychologists like Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson theorized that humans go through stages in their development throughout life, growing from infancy to old age. Piaget outlined stages of thinking or cognitive development, and Erikson described stages of personality or psychosocial development. How can you use this information to better understand your own life? What stages of cognitive and psychosocial development have you gone through since you were an infant? Which stages will you go through as you develop into adulthood and old age?

In a multi-paragraph essay, describe all the different stages of cognitive and psychosocial development throughout your lifespan. Be sure to provide examples to illustrate the thoughts, emotions, and behavior typical of each stage. Include details from class materials, readings, and research on human development to support your discussion.

Psychologists have discovered that human beings experience several different states of consciousness during the course of a day. For example, people have times when they are especially alert and times when they are awake but not alert, often called "daydreaming." Also, while people are asleep, they experience different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns of brain and bodily activity.

In a multi-paragraph essay, discuss the different states of consciousness that you have experienced in the past 24 hours, including any periods when you were asleep, alert, or "daydreaming." Be sure to describe both the brain and bodily activity you experienced during each state of consciousness. Include information from class materials, readings, and research on states of consciousness to support your discussion.

An intense stimulus is generally ________________________(more/less) likely to become a CS than a weak stimulus. b. The above finding is revealed when a CS consisting of two stimuli, one strong and the other weak, is paired with a US. Such a CS is called a _____________________stimulus c. When two stimuli are presented simultaneously and then followed by a US, one of the stimuli will tend to ________________________the other

Androgyny is premised on at least four crucial assumptions about the characteristics of adult learners that are different from the assumptions about child learners on which traditional pedagogy is premised. A fifth was added later.

1. Self-concept: As a person matures his self concept moves from one of being a dependent personality toward one of being a self-directed human being

2. Experience: As a person matures he accumulates a growing reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource for learning.

3. Readiness to learn. As a person matures his readiness to learn becomes oriented increasingly to the developmental tasks of his social roles.

4. Orientation to learning. As a person matures his time perspective changes from one of postponed application of knowledge to immediacy of application, and accordingly his orientation toward learning shifts from one of subject-centeredness to one of problem centredness.

5. Motivation to learn: As a person matures the motivation to learn is internal (Knowles 1984:12).

Prepare a 2 – 3 page paper that reflects on your personal attainment of each of these 5 assumptions. Are you there yet? Maybe you don’t necessarily agree with one or more of the assumptions-why or why not? And finally, can you see how you might learn differently now than when you were in high school, for example?
