Section 5: The Learning Blueprint: Building Better Minds by Montserrat Cossio

Section 1: Classical conditioning

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 18:46:52 UTC

Classical conditioning Definition: Type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus, eventually triggering a similar response

Section 1 Example Of Classical conditioning

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 18:51:26 UTC

An example of classical conditioning is when I would always ring a bell to get my cat’s attention. She never gave much attention to it. Now every time I ring the bell I put her food bowl down. So overtime she noticed that every time I rung the bell i put her food down. Now every time I ring the bell she comes running down.

Section 1: Operant Conditioning

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 19:02:27 UTC

Operant Conditioning definition: A type of learning in which the frequency of a behavior depends on the consequence

Choice> Consequence> Learning

Section 1: Operant Conditioning example

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 19:06:12 UTC

Operant Conditioning example: when I raise my hand in class and answer a question correctly and the teacher praises me I am more likely to raise my hand in the future.

Section 1: Social observational learning

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 19:10:48 UTC

Social observational Definition: learning from the behavior of others

Section 1: Social observational Example

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 19:13:14 UTC

Social observational Example: my little sister watches Cocomelon and sees how bad they act so now she starts acting bad.

Section 2: experiments

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-15 19:26:28 UTC

Experiment of Operant Conditioning: I wanna see if every time I praise my sister for cleaning or behaving if she starts doing it because she gets praised when she does either of those things

Research question: will my sister behave/clean every time i praise her for doing either of those things?

Hypothesis: every time i praise my sister she will start cleaning/behaving more often

IV: praising my sister

DV: her listening to me

Experiment of Operant Conditioning: I want to see if every time my cat sits she will get a treat but if she doesn’t sit down she doesn’t get a treat

Research question: Will my cat sit down when she wants a treat

Hypothesis: my cat will starting sitting down without me telling her for a treat

IV: getting a treat

DV: My cat sitting down

Sally went to the lake with her family when she was younger she went to the deep end without anyone noticing. She drowned luckily she was bought back to life now every time she is near a large body of water she gets scared.

Unconditioned Stimulus:the lake

Unconditioned Response: drowning

Conditioned Stimulus: large bodies of water

Conditioned Response: getting scared

Bob went to the park with his family when he was younger he was having lots of fun. Until a man was walking his dog and his dog escaped. The dog went towards bob and jumped on top of him luckily the owner grabbed his dog just in time before anything serious happened now every time he sees a dog he has a panic attack.

Unconditioned Stimulus: The dog

Unconditioned Response: getting attacked

Conditioned stimulus : seeing the dogs

Conditioned response: having a panic attack

When Rob went an amusement park a roller coaster he was on got stuck he had a panic attack. Every time he is near the park he has a panic attack so now he avoids roller coasters at all costs.

Unconditioned Stimulus: Roller coasters

Unconditioned Response: The ride getting stuck

Conditioned stimulus: Hearing/seeing roller coasters

Conditioned response : having a panic attack

Section 4: Social observational learning

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-18 18:48:44 UTC

Social observational learning: Things I learned by watching people:

Walking

How to interact with others

Manners

Writing

Stress

Listening without interruption

Passwords

Empathy

Hadleing my emotions

Self control

Right and wrong

Compassion

Cultural norms

Basic coordination

Complex physical tasks

Daily routines

Creative play

Section 5: Operant conditioning

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-18 19:04:39 UTC

Positive reinforcement: A child clean their room without being asked. The parent praises them. Now the child is more likely to clean their room without being asked.

Negative reinforcement: A student finished their work on time to avoid getting a bad grade or getting grounded

Positive punishment: A kid throws a tantrum in the store. The parent gives them time out now the child is less likely to throw tantrums.

Negative punishment: A child refuses to eat their vegetables and, as a result, is not allowed to play with their favorite toy.

Section 6: Science

In the article they explain behaviorism and how it applys to the classroom and how it’s used to encourage better learning behaviors. It explains how John Watson’s shift toward studying observable behaviors in psychology. It helped introduced classical conditioning and operant conditioning. The four types of consequences in operant conditioning: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, negative punishment. They help shape behavior. The principles can be used to manage a classroom. Teachers can use positive reinforcement to encourage their students to do better in the classroom

Section 6: conclusion

mcossio6096 — 2024-11-18 20:33:29 UTC

Learning theory is important to everyday life because it helps us understand how people get used to their environment when and change their behavior. It helps us understand how we learn, we learn things through experience and observation sometimes we might fail or do good it helps learn what to do things differently. It is important to the operant conditioning. It also includes how people teach and parent. Some parents/ teachers use reinforcement whether it be positive or negative. It helps them understand and guide the kids. In conclusions it helps us understand how we learn and make choices in our everyday lives and how we can teach the younger generations.
