1) I do believe that learning a new behavior are strictly rooted through classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning and not paired with one another. The way I have interpreted this course is that when a behavior is learned and is measurable in some way, it can be broken down into a fundamental learning process. The argument that I would make is that if there were to be more than one behavior change apparent after an incident, whether it be natural causes, deliberate reinforcement or punishment that they can be categorized by a single fundamental of learning. It is relatively easy to distinguish where the learning took place, assuming you have adequate information or observation of the event. Though some of these

The neutral stimulus would be my father’s belt, the unconditioned stimulus would be his spanking he would give me and the unconditioned response would be the fear of my dad when he get angry. The belt would then become the conditioned stimulus causing the conditioned fear to take place. Fear is also an indicator of classical conditioning because it is an involuntary response to something scary. Observational learning to me is pretty clear and could even be applied to a similar setting. If I were to see my dad abuse my brother, I would not only shelter the consequence he is going through as my own lesson, but I could also establish a vicarious emotional response similar to the previous example. My last example would be watching brother skateboard. My brother was not just a model that reinforced or punished behaviors, but he was also my role model and essentially my mentor on many things. When we would go out skateboarding, my brother, his friends and myself would all practice a variety of tricks at our elementary school …show more content…
The parent should first identify what is causing the violent behavior, which could be from multiple sources. Televised material, in general, should be under scrutiny. The influence that televised media as well as the Internet, in general, has dominated our society in a sense. We are influenced to need the nicest and newest things while violence is happening everywhere. Violent video games are no exception, but I feel that there are more dangerous things plaguing our
