    “Okay, listen.” “Oh, little tiny baby Sam.” “Bongiorno!” “Are you safe?” “Oh, did you go to Farm Camp? You’ve never mentioned it.” These are just a few prominent examples of the little quips I’ve brainwashed my friends into saying. When I came to campus, I immediately entered into a group of people who I feel more connected to than pretty much anyone I’ve been acquainted with previously. So I guess it isn’t all that surprising we have picked up some of each other’s mannerisms and vocal…

    Abstract The value for the acceleration of gravity was measured in this report through the investigation using three different methods, each varying in accuracy, to calculate the period of a pendulum. The period was measured by repeatedly timing the time it took for the pendulum to return to its original position once it was swung from a certain point (for the first method one oscillation was timed, however in the second and third ten oscillations were timed and the overall time was divided by…

    is the behaviorism that emphasizes the influence that other people have over a person’s behavior. The individuals learn without an enforcement. The individual learns through observation and imitation of other people. This theory is also called observational learning. Children model their behavior from their parents, peers, and famous people. Social learning occurs through modeling in which the child copies what they see on other people they admire. However, there are some children that do the…

    DISCUSSION: In this investigation, the effect of electrolyte concentration, depth of electrode immersion in electrolyte, and distance between electrodes in electrolyte, on the current flow through copper electrodes were tested. Table 1 and Graph 1 display the results when increasing electrolyte concentration. Evident in Graph 1, the results contained scatter, and consisted of an outlier in the sample in which the ratio of NaCl: deionised water was 10:30mL. The outlier and scatter may have been…

    A weakness in this experimental design is the manual dilution of the Aquasol concentrations. This is because, if a random error were to occur, and the diluted Aquasol concentration does not result in the desired concentration, the validity, reliability, and precision of the results is majorly decreased. Whereas if the Aquasol concentrations were already previously diluted in a lab by professionals, or were bought in the correct concentrations, the reliability, validity, and precision of the…

    Planning for risky play for meeting outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework When planning risky play for children, it is essential that educators include a range of natural elements in the outdoor environment, such as plants, sand, mud and water. Through daily interactions with these elements, children’s understandings of the world, where they live, can be broadened. Therefore, they connect with their land and then develop the sense of belonging to the country. Besides, children can…

    There is a wide variety of different theories regarding aggression. However, the two theories which I tend to compare and evaluate are the evolutionary theory and the social learning theory. These theories tend to explain why an individual behaves in an aggressive or violent way. The evolutionary theory is derived from the biological factor in which it aims to focus on aggression as a natural selection, meaning aggression is naturally there within humans. On the other hand, the social learning…

    1. This observation occurred between the occupational therapist (OT) and a 4-year-old girl named Ella.

The occupational therapist brought in big Lego blocks and allowed Ella to free-play with them while the OT gathered other materials. The OT sat down at the table with Ella and from the bag of Legos she pulled out 2 yellow blocks with six pegs, 2 green with 2 pegs, 2 blue with 2…

    The main concept of Albert Bandura’s social learning theory is that people learn behaviors by watching someone else. These behaviors may be ones that are new or behaviors that may change what they currently are doing. Bandura’s theory incorporates not only the behavior being observed but also the cognitive processes it takes to learn and assimilate the behavior that is being observed. This is accomplished by imitating the actions or behavior that is being observed. The influence of the…

    this precision and use of several experimental settings that becomes a weakness of this theory. It can be argued that experiments cannot be set up to truly imitate real life situations where other variables may be present during learning. Also, with studies where people are being observed, there is always a chance that they will behave as they feel they are expected to thus distorting the results of the…
