1. Classical conditioning is where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, eventually triggering a similar response. Operant conditioning is where the frequency of a behavior depends on the consequence that follows that behavior. Social observational learning is where someone is learning from behavior of others.

2. Classical Conditioning - When I was in middle school, I’d always take naps after school. So eventually my dad started giving me chores to do to stop sleeping afterschool. Now that I am a little older I cant seem to fall asleep after school because I’m so used to being overworked with choruses after school.

Operant conditioning - Once upon a time ago, my family and I went to my cousins birthday we went to chucky cheeses. I threw the biggest hissy fit because I couldn’t go in the little tornado ticket machine. My mom was so fed up she spanked me, and told me if I ever threw another hissy fit that it’ll happen again. From that point on I don’t think I ever threw a hissy fit.

Social observational learning - one time, (when I was around like 7) my mom and I went to Target for some groceries. One of the isles we went down there was a kid around my age, who was literally making the biggest fool out of himself. I felt so bad for the mom because of how poorly the kid was acting, so based off of that kids action I’ve learned to not act a bafoon in public.

Experiment 1 - How does positive reinforcement affect the frequency of a specific behavior? Our hypothesis is if students receive positive reinforcement for complimenting their homework on time, then the homework completion will increase. So we will select 30 random students, and we will divide the students into two groups. For 4 weeks, one group with receive stickers each time they complete their homework and the other group will not. At the end of the 4 weeks, compare the homework completion.

Experiment 2 - How does negative reinforcement affect students behavior in class? Our hypothesis will be if students are allowed to avoid an unpleasant task, by doing a specific behavior then that behavior will increase. Again we will, select 30 random students at a high school. We divided the two groups. For 4 weeks, one group group informed that if they participated in class they won’t have to do the unwanted homework. The other group will not have the option to avoid the unwanted homework. At the end of 4 weeks, we compare the class discussions.

Example 1 - In the first place, the sound of a can opener didn’t cause my cat to run towards the food (NS). When the sound of the can opener is used surrounding the cat food (US), and now the cat starts to run to kitchen at the sound of the can opener (CR).

—

Example 2 - Charli XCXs music didn’t bring me happiness (NS). When I started to constantly listen to her songs, I started to relate them with positive moments in my life (US) Now anytime someone plays any one of her songs, I start to feel happy (CR).

—

Example 3 - my first ringtone (NS)didn’t make me annoyed at first. When I was constantly called with that particular ringtone it started to make me really angry and annoyed (US). Now every time I hear it, I get frustrated and want to turn it off (CR).

- Ethan and Thomas, two brothers, got into a heated argument involving loud screaming and swears. Their parents tell them that they’re not aloud to leave the house for the next 2 weeks.

The Learning Scientist podcast talks about learning strategies like retrieval practice, spaced practice, and dual coding. The techniques help improve memory by recalling information, spreading out study sessions and combining words with visual. Retrieval practice and spaced practice are sort of linked to operant conditioning by repeated acts of information can improve memory. Dual coding an be connected to social observation by using visuals seen in other people. These strategies help reinforce learning different methods.

We are cognitive psychological scientists interested in research on education. Our main research focus is on the science of learning. (Hence, "The Learning Scientists"!). Our Vision is to make scientific research on learning more accessible to students, teachers, and other educators.

Learning theory in everyday life helps us understand how people get new skills and knowledge. It shows us how behaviors get repeated and how habits are formed. Classical conditioning shows us how we can see the connections between neutral stimuli and conditioned stimuli. Operant conditioning shows us how rewards and punishment shape our behavior. Social observational learning shows how we pick up behaviors from just observing other people. They help in developing teaching methods and behavior strategies. Learning theory gives us lessons on how we understand and adapt to new situations.
