Chapter+2+Behaviorism

[] This video is over the Milgram Experiament which is a social/behavior experient conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience. This is a mix of behavior and cognition pschology which pretty much creates social psychology. [] This is a clip of the Family Guy in positive and negative reinforcement. [] This video is from Michigan State, and displays classical conditioning in regard to using your seat belt and operant conditioning in checking vending machines. [] The Big Bang Theory and operant conditioning/positive reinforcement...funny! Extensions Stephanie Hubler One of the extensions I have for Chapter 2, is describing the Positive Behavior Supports program we currently have at our school. Except for this year, I have been on the behavior committee at my school. The first year on the committee, our committee was introduced to the PBS program. We had several full day training sessions in which we learned about PBS and then saw how some schools put in into place in their schools. I have to say, I was pretty impressed by the program and the results that these schools were getting. I noticed that many people, including myself, had to change their mindset in a way. We have grown up in schools were rules are described in terms of what students shouldn't be doing. We had to rethink the way the rules were expressed and change them to more positive statements. It's more like a school motto, instead of school rules now. It is what we want represented at our school. The one we (teachers and students) chose is PRIDE. Each letter stands for what behaviors we want exhibited by students and staff at Navarre. They are: P - Personal Best, R - Respect, I - Integrity, D - Determination, E - Excellence. We made "Pride Bucks" and started handing them out to students who were exhibiting any of those qualities. Students then got to spend their Pride Bucks at a Pride Cart during their lunches. Many of the kids really enjoy this, but there are some that still aren't impressed by it. The idea is to reinforce good behavior with a reward.

[] two and a half men…pavlovs tequila

This is a funny example of Pavlov's theory of classical conditioning. The guys are sitting at the bar and the bell rings and everyone barks and does a shot. But the one guy didn't know what it was all about so Sheen explained it. Then they have a heart felt conversation about his kid and Sheen ends with something about men not being able to control their actions. Then the bell rings and the whole bar barks and does another shot!

I'm not sure we are going to cover this in the first class or second, but here is a video on operant conditioning: [|The Big Bang]. In it, the character Sheldon is attempting to positively reinforce a neighbors behavior he found pleasing. It is interesting to note that a commenter on the video pointed out that what Sheldon confused negative reinforcement with punishment. In the commentators view, "negative reinforcement is used to increase the frequency of a behavior whereas punishment is used to decrease the frequency of a behavior." ( [|sehmuzakalin, 2/8/12)]

Stephanie Green I wanted to share this website as one of my extensions. I know that positive reinforment is used alot in schools. This is a program that our school district started last year. PBiS this is from the web page that explains it. Improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. SWPBS provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. More importantly, SWPBS is NOT a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but IS a __decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.__ Basically at the beginning of the year the students went through a week of being shown and praticing how to act in the hallways, bathrooms, lunchroom, coming and leaving school and the list goes on. The students earn tickets for being caught doing what they are suppose to but also going above and beyond. They there are weekly ticket drawing and school wide prizes for certain alot of tickets earned.

My other extension is on Operant Conditioning. It is a video clip from the Big Bang Theory. There are lots of responses on whether or not this is Operant Conditioning. Some say that it can be negative reinforcement where others say it could be positivie. I watch this show quite often and I could see the different perspectives. @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euINCrDbbD4&feature=related

**Ann Creary** 1) Albert Bandura: This link is a short clip on Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory. The author describes human learning by observation. He describes and provides examples of the four stages of social learning including attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S5-Ud_7nGQ

2) The Bobo Dolll Experiment: Bandura  This is a BBC Four link describing Bandura's 1961 Bobo Doll Experiment that explores social learning, particularly with children and violence (both real and on television). While the clip demonstrates that what we see strongly influences our behavior, we learn how to reflect and identify with others as we get older, which in turn also influences our behavior. =// The Brain: A Secret History - Emotions; Bandura Bobo Doll Experiment // (BBC Four) = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zerCK0lRjp8
