reward so they could keep up the behavior and join the “big kid club” and stop wearing pull-ups. With concrete reinforcement, it would give them the ability to learn and modify their behaviors basing on the situational and environmental factors. The other form of reinforcement is social reinforcement, which I would use for older children. I would constantly use verbal acknowledgement and positive statements they’ve completed their school projects, assignments, chores, and so on forth. One of my…

theory were learning (which involved vicarious reinforcement), triadic reciprocal causation, human agency, self-regulation, models or the idea of observational learning, self-efficacy, and behavior modification. (Should I explain some of these ideas? If so…). With learning Bandura believed that people could learn all kinds of behavior even if they do not directly experience reinforcement. He thought individuals could learn though vicarious reinforcement, which was “Bandura’s notion that learning…

In chapter 7: I was introduced to the social learning theory it describes juveniles engaging in delinquent behavior and engaging in conforming behavior by being active with others.

Punishment is used to stop bad behaviours while reinforcement stops the bad behaviour and teaches what to do instead. A good example of the application of operant conditioning is a speeding driver.

Journal three focuses on my recollection from past hours I volunteered at Debbie’s Angels Productions. After my last journal on “the Little Shop of Horrors,” I discontinued going since I reached my goal of twenty-five hours and had a busy end of the semester schedule. Throughout the whole service learning, I had minimal interaction with the children from the “Aladdin” play; however, some important details came to mind. My service learning at Debbie’s Angels Production connects to the operant…

many debatable questions of what influences one’s behavior and where did the behavior came from. As a result of many experiments, the effect of reinforcement or punishment seems to greatly influence one’s behavior sequence. This creates the ideal of modeling and shaping, by rewarding some of their behaviors and having punished others by using reinforcement. The idea of modeling and shaping significantly influences one’s behavior and their behavior pattern. Theories of personality have taken…
