However, she was left bruised badly blistered after her male vice-principal spanked her. Taylor’s mother gave permission for her daughter’s punishment, but she did not know it would be the schools male vice- principal administering it. According to Springtown’s ISD policy, “corporal punishment shall be administered only by an employee who is the same sex as the student” (FOX NEWS). In Taylor’s case, her punishment caused injury to her body. Two days after the paddling Taylor stated that, “[she] still has welts on her today” (FOX NEWS).
Eventually the rat would cease pushing the lever. 4. Noncontingent reinforcement – – – – refers to delivery of reinforcing stimuli regardless of the organism's (aberrant) behavior. The idea is that the target behavior decreases because it is no longer necessary to receive the reinforcement. This typically entails time-based delivery of stimuli identified as maintaining aberrant behavior, which serves to decrease the rate of the target behavior.
The student should go to the safety shower and stand under the activated shower for 15-30 minutes. 5. Acid is spilled onto the workspace. Explain the procedure that should be followed. (5 pts.)
After the bath had finished filling I would then proceed to collect the service user from the lounge/ bedroom and assist them with their bathing needs. While assisting with their bathing needs I would apply PPE (gloves, apron) and allow them time to have a nice soak in the bath. When they are ready to get out the bath I would place appropriate non slip mat on the floor and assist the service user to exit the bath. I would help the service user to dry and dress if they require this and then would proceed to return the service user to their lounge/ bedroom before returning to the bathroom and begin the process of cleaning the bathroom ready for the next service user to use. In order to clean this I would collect cleaning equipment from the cleaner’s cupboard and spray the bath with appropriate cleaning agents and using a clean cloth and after cleaning the bath I would rinse this thoroughly with hot water to remove any residue from the bath.
| What are the three principles of operant conditioning and explain them? Shaping- An operant conditioning procedure in which reinforcers guide behavior toward closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior (Reinforcements =guide to desired behavior) Positive Reinforcements- Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response. Negative Reinforcements- Increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response ( negative reinforcements are not punishments) Punishment- an event that decreases the behavior that it follows.
Learning Theories PSY 331: Psychology of Learning Learning can be considered as the “process leading to relatively permanent behavioral change or potential behavioral change. As one learns, perception of environment is altered by interpretation of stimulus and the interaction or behavior” (Lieberman, 2012). Many Behaviorists believed the study of behavior had to be done in an observable manner with no thought of internal mind states. These behaviorists believed there was no way to study behaviors in regards to the internal mind states due to cognition, emotion and mood was useless and could not be tested or verified to provide an explanation of the behavior (Lieberman, 2012). Therefore, this paper will view the three
The key procedures that follow classical condition are as follows: 1) a stimulus is offered to an organism, which will result in a natural and automatic reaction. This stimulus is called the unconditioned stimulus which causes an unconditioned response in return 2) a neutral stimulus that does not result in an unconditioned response is offered to the organism just before offering the unconditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus is known as the conditioned stimulus 3) once the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus are harmonized several times then the conditioned stimulus alone can be presented and cause the learned response. This shows a conditioned response has occurred. The unconditioned stimulus is the reinforcement because everything else in the conditioning process depends upon it.
Spanking Children Many parents think that spanking is a good way to correct the bad attitudes and bad things that children usually do. Parents usually spank children for these reasons, but parents should know that children can get some different [additional] problems because of spanking. Children can get depression, bad relationships and mental problems. Parents are asking themselves if spanking children is a good way to discipline children or not? Therefore, according to the latest studies of some organizations such as children protection, spanking can create physiological problems such as depression in a child.
This process is known as extinction. Avoided this intersection will not help him and the fear will be there. Part B Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which an individual’s behavior is modified by its consequences. In operant conditioning it deals with the reinforcement and punishment to change behavior. A behavior might be reinforced every time it occurs and sometimes a behavior might not be reinforced at all.
Operant conditioning is a concept developed by behaviorist B.F. Skinner. Skinner did not agree with Pavlov's ideas and thought that his classical conditioning could not give an answer to all behaviors. To Skinner operant conditioning takes place when the behavior has an outcome, and repeated behavior will occur whether the result is negative or positive (Lawson, Graham, Hall, & Baker, Chapter 10, 2007). So in simple words operant or instrumental conditioning for most people is a form of learning, in which the behavior occurs more frequently when followed by reinforcement. However, the behavior that is punish will occurs less frequent.
