Why Cg's Primary Function Is Escape

Improved Essays
From the analyzing the data collected, CG’s primary function is escape. The escaping function ties into CG’s boredom associated with lectures and/or classroom discussions. The reason I believe that escape is CG’s behavioral function is due to the spikes in frequency when she is sitting through review sessions and/or uninteresting topics (in her opinion). Mornings in which she seemed tired resulted higher frequency rates. The urge to escape boredom was also done via other behavioral actions. The other behavior that I witnessed was CG’s completion of other assignments during the AP Biology hour. The dates in which the frequency rates were near zero were on days that introduced new material, discussions on fascinating topics such as the out of

    Ellie will be able to get friends. The mere exposure effect can cause her to become more liked by her peers because they will see her more and more. A mnemonic device can be helpful in remembering people's names. Ellie can have an easier time remembering the different members names, and them remembering hers especially if they call role of the members of the club. Because of Schachter's two-factor theory we know that Ellie will be more likely to be noticed if she is friendly to her peers because they will have the feeling of happiness when around her because her friendliness and kind spirit.…

    While the articles of confederation were in effect, the United States government was vulnerable to tyranny. Before the constitution, the Articles of Confederation were the first constitution that ruled the United States, and they made the federal government so weak that they couldn't even tax their citizens. To fix this, the constitutional convention was called to set up a stronger government through a new constitution. How did the Constitution, a document that details how the government is run, guard against tyranny, cruel and oppressive government rule? The constitution protects against tyranny because of federalism, checks and balances, and separation of powers.…

    Q1a Freud defines the “apparently insignificant errors made by normal people” as the errors with a psychological basis such as excitement, fatigue, illness, and disorders. In other words, they are caused by distractions of one’s attention, either by psychic or organic factors. The “apparently significant errors” include some inaccuracies of speech in which a person unintentionally uses a wrong word or misreading in writing or the print (Freud, 1920). In contrast, Freud outlines other errors based on forgetfulness that, in essence, cannot be remembered in a certain time interval. For instance, mislaying items that cannot be found again are not of interest.…

    The top behaviors with intellectual stimulation are interactive teaching style, challenging students, encouraging independent thought, promoting participation, and humor (Bolkan, & Goodboy, 2011, p. 15). The President shows humor in his smiles and his laughter, as well as his jokes. To get into the White House Science Fair, a student must first win another science fair, and this is how he promotes participation as well as challenge students to do the best they can be. The President wants to show the world how “impressive” these students can be, and it makes these students look so excited to be there. This is a strong form of motivation because it is intrinsic motivation, when an act is acted out for the enjoyment of the act itself.…

    As well as passing through different stages, young children’s development may be affected by transitions and significant events. Transition is when there is a change from one stage to another. Transitions can be gradual or sudden, and can have short or long lasting effects to a child and on their development. Children will naturally go through many stages of transition such as growing up, changing from nursery to primary education, puberty, or changes in their home life such as moving house, entering or leaving care, changes to their family structure. How each child is affected is very individual to each person, the stage of development they have already reached and a whole mix of external and environmental factors.…

    Theorists That which follows are brief descriptions of eleven theorists whose works have influence classroom discipline practices. The kinds of thinking they represent was a departure from earlier, less thoughtful approaches. Each theorist offers a unique perspective on human behavior and the role of punishment in a classroom. While some of these theories are outdated, portions of them remain relevant and they have contributed to the work of our modern behavioral theorist.

    The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in challenging behaviors are removed from the learning environment. This is not helpful because the function of this behavior is avoidance and so the behavior is successful from the student’s perspective.…
