Skinner with the “Skinner Box”. This was a study that was done to prove that we could modify behavior by giving positive reinforcements. B.F. Skinner believed that the best way for us to understand behavior was to look at what caused the behavior and what the consequences were from us participating in the behavior. The field of psychology learned that when an individual is positively reinforced for participation in a specific wanted behavior the individual is more likely to repeat the wanted behavior. This is used mostly in parenting by rewarding a child for being good.
A Reflection On Falling Down Is Part Of Growing Up And Being A Cripple. Despite their differences, both Falling Down Is Part of Growing Up and Being Cripple share few things in common. First both authors, Henry Peteroski and Nancy Maris provide their personal attitudes regarding their bodies. For instance, Petroski regards his daily live as an engineer of sorts work, “for we all have the principles of machines and structures in our bones” Here, Petroski is trying to illustrate different types of stages in human lives; he illustrates the different ways in which we grow. Petroski says we get familiar with the world, we learn things, firstly we do it clumsily but later we learn it well.

The Meyers Briggs personality type indicator test is used to identify a person’s personality type. My personality type is ISFJ; this abbreviation stands for Introversion, Sensing, Feeling and Judging. With this report I would like to inform you more of how my personality type relates to the test findings, how my prior and current position fits well with my personality type, my preferred method of learning-compatible with the test’s findings, and some of the exciting findings that can help me become a better me. An ISFJ person is considered to be nurturers, quiet, friendly, responsible and loyal. They remember specifics about people who are important to them.
Therefore, the student was viewed as an adult learner. Honey and Mumford (1989) describes learning styles as activist, reflector, theorist and pragmatist. The author’s student’s preferred learning style was examined by using Honey and Mumford learning style questionnaire for much more effective learning to take place and this showed that the learner is an activist who thrives on the challenge of new experiences and learns by active experimentation (Kolb, 1984). The student was required to adopt a reflective learning style for more successful and efficient
Teenagers adapt to their surroundings in order to live, and in a non conventional sense, reproduce. The adaptations they have to make are a little different, however in a sense, it does include shedding one's skin and growing a new, possibly tougher one. High school students have to adapt to socially constructed levels; height, sexuality, weight, grades, social life, socio-economic standards, the list goes on. In essence, they survive by changing themselves, whether for better or for worse. For most teenagers, school is as much a popularity contest as it is an opportunity to further one's education, maybe even more so.
