1. The Marshmallow Test discovered a couple things that we didn’t know. One particularly successful tactic involved “distraction” one of the reasons why a child is identified as problematic to perform in school. Another finding was that “teaching executive function skills to older students might involve teaching them how their brains work, explicitly teaching them strategies to accomplish their goals”;…
At the beginning of this experiment, the experimenter asks the child to separate the cards into a white and black stack. After the child has done so, the experimenter asks the child to now separate the cards depending on the shape that is on the card: heart or a star. The child will tend to get less correctly when asked to stack the cards depending on their shape. This was very interesting because it goes to show that children tend to perseverate, which means that they tend to get stuck to thinking about the rules that they were initially exposed to. They do not chose to ignore the second set of rules; it is just too much for them to actually remember.…
In the beginning of the experiment, there were 18 participants. The participants were college students at the College of Wooster. The 18 participants were also enrolled in a 300 level Psychology course, Learning and Behaviour, where this experiment took place. One participant’s results were thrown out because she joined the experimenter in the third and final trial. At the end of all three trails, only 17 participant’s results were collected.…
In this article the author, Erickson, discusses the practice of teachers basing student’s grades off of their averages. The topic of the article explains it all, “How Grading Reform Changed”, this article discusses just that. According to Erickson, he suggests that grading reforms at Minnetonka High School led to a change in the way the school system worked. It fundamentally altered how teachers graded, and how students approached their learning. What automatically catches my attention is the example the author gave in relation to the topic.…
In a few short years, the Nazis systematically killed 11 or more million people, essentially the entire population of Pennsylvania. The entire state of Pennsylvania, wiped off the face of the earth. It is incomprehensible that people can be driven to kill a whole race of humans, but that was what happened. The SS and Gestapo officers blindly followed everything the high-ranking officials told them to do, for they were lead to believe that it was good for Germany. Nearly a whole Continent obeyed by Hitler’s every word and, if he wanted the Jews to die, they would be killed.…
The writers of this article stared off by trying to better understand the idea of being detached form society. They feel that detachment is a sign of an impairment that makes it hard for the individual to feel connected with the environment or to properly explain their feelings. There are two distinct hypothesis formed about detachment. The first one is that the individual has an inability to depend on others or ask for help under a stressful situation which is known as dysfunctional detachment. The second is called adaptive detachment and the individual is able to be more goal oriented while still connecting with others.…
In “The Perils of Obedience” by Stanley Milgram, he communicates his discoveries of a research experiment in which he performed attempting to provide evidence of the distances individuals determine to go through as a result of becoming obedient to authoritative figures. The experiment consists of three subjects to be tested; the experimenter, the teacher, and the learner. The experimenter gives an explanation of the research experiment being conducted and “the study is concerned with the effects of punishment on learning” (Milgram, 1974). The teachers would recite a sequence of words. The learner would be expected to recall the words connected to each other.…
About one third of the children were able to delay gratification. These children learned to listen to their secondary drive of motivation. The child learned there is a greater reward for delaying their behavior, instead of giving in to their primary drive. In this case, the child is rewarded with a larger amount of food, than just getting a smidgen of food. In fact, the child may have the need to make the adult happy by behaving in a “good manner” by not giving in to the urge to eat the food right away.…

Mr. Davis third graders are most likely around the ages of 8 and 9. This would place them in the Concrete Operational Stage in Piaget's Stages of Development. In this stage, the children are acquiring the ability to understand adult logic. This would make it seem that students would be able to comprehend how to go through with this experiment. This is not the case because these students are barely starting to understand logical thought.…
The student may have simply memorized the fact or formula or trick necessary to do well on the test.” This is a huge issue nowadays because it doesn’t show the abilities and uniqueness of how each student could perform. Standardized tests create systems that compare students with one another by mere numbers and scores on a…
Have you ever wondered how many people have temptations to get things right away? For example a four year old has been tested with the marshmallow experiment. They have a choice of getting one marshmallow at that moment or to get two marshmallows if the kid could wait fifteen minutes until Mischel comes back into the room. Most of the kids had a struggle on waiting for fifteen minutes because the marshmallow was right in front of them so they kept looking at it and some kids who wanted to wait would kick the desk,the girls would pull on her pigtails, or they would cover their eyes. There are also some adult and young teens or even kids who may have other temptations for example shopping.…
There are so many reasons people are pro homework. People say “it helps them become smarter or helps them on test,” But there is a lack of evidence where it actually supports their claims, that it helps students at all especially at such a young age. with Alfie Khon “The positive effects of homework are largely mythical.”(Khon). It also seems that homework is being forced onto younger students more often than the older ones. I remember getting tons of homework in Elementary school, and not having the time to play outside, the stress, and my parents struggling to help me on problems I didn’t know.…
