To achieve better results, strategies could therefore be devised to ensure that all students understand the instructions provided.
One way to do this is to encourage students to ask for help. Students who received undesirable results after their second attempt, therefore, were divided into groups where the first and second groups, who eventually achieved success, provided clarification of the instructions. This ensured peer education, where the learners were able to encourage and help each other. Each group was given the opportunity to submit one essay in which they all participated. The outcomes for these essays were consistently desirable. The final group, therefore, received direct peer instruction and could learn exactly what was meant by the instructions.
As a final strategy, a new essay topic was given to individual students, with the same basic format and premise. This resulted in undesirable results for only three students. On resubmission, these students also improved significantly.
The conditioning in the above example, as in most teaching situations, therefore occurred by design. First, desirable results primarily constitute a high mark. Secondarily, a desirable outcome is the effort level resulting from high grades at the start. Following instructions accurately therefore resulted in a high grade and a lower effort level, in terms of not having to resubmit essays once or twice.
The teacher herself then also was able to change her actions in order to achieve the desired results from students. This is a fundamentally scientific method inherent in the behavioral...
Then, on seeing that the rearing has become a little bit familiar to him, sniffy is therefore, reinforced when he rears at a point with the bar. After several attempts of the previous steps, sniffy was encouraged to rear up nearer to the bar as possible. During the regular training observation, incase sniffy rears so close to the bar this increases the likelihood that sniffy will press on the bar.
Classical Conditioning Smith, S.M. & Moynan, S.C.; (2008) Forgetting and recovering the unforgettable, Psychological Science, Vol. 19, Issue 5 This study helped determine "whether interference can cause dramatic forgetting that is subsequently reversed when retrieval cues are provided" (p. 462). The study assisted the researchers in understanding how the brain manipulates conditioned responses to cues which can also be interfered with. The manner in which the article will provide support for the
It is to be stressed upon that such reflexes may exist in some species but not in others. According an effective U.S., however, there are still several factors that have influence on conditioning a particular CS applying it. (Features of Classical Conditioning) The Classical Conditioning response is considered as most primitive and primary units of learning and assists the analysts in better comprehending and potentially treats some human pathology. The
Learning Theories Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning is the process of linking an unconditioned stimulus to a conditioned stimulus. The famous classical conditioning experiment by Pavlov resulted in a dog beginning to salivate whenever a bell was rung. This was achieved by ringing the bell every time food was brought for the dog, thus the dog was conditioned to associate the sound of the bell with food. Since food naturally elicits salivation in
classical conditioning by Pavlov and its current use in treating anxiety The paper focuses on the development of classical conditioning being used, as suggested by Pavlov, in treating anxiety through using fear-induced techniques. The paper talks about the past experiments that were done on animals and human, those who were suffering from anxiety and those who weren't, and highlights how anxiety is treated through fear induced conditioning. Combination of neutral stimulus
In a recent L’Oreal advertisement, the company capitalizes on diversity. The product being advertised is the “True Match” brand of foundation. The tagline in the advertisement reads, “Your skin has a story. It’s a mosaic of all the faces before it.” The unconditioned stimulus is the imagery itself, which the company hopes will connect with the viewer’s emotions related to connectivity with community, discovering one’s roots, taking pride in one’s
