The first thing that really surprised me was the tone in text towards management. From chapter 1’s description of the history of worker exploitation, chapter 3 talking about bullying by supervisors, and chapter 5 talking about work overload among new grads, I thought the text painted a very negative picture of management’s role in the sociology of the…

In this laboratory exercise of a bird pecking a button, the bird has a habit of pecking the button more times because it is conscious of the fact that every time it pecks, food is supplied. The bird makes certain that it pecks the button since doing so results to the delivery of food. To sustain the availability of food, the bird has to continuously peck the button. The graphic representation of this experiment is constant, showing that the reinforcer in this case, is providing the delivery of…

The second video focuses on handwritten notes that the CEO company writes to his employees. By writing personal messages to his employees, it has encouraged the employees to continue working hard…

Classical Conditioning is a type of learning that pairs a stimulus that would cause a predictable reaction with a stimulus that causes a neutral reaction, in the hopes that the neutral stimulus with invoke the response of the previous stimulus.

The neutral stimulus will have a neutral reaction. This is crucial, seeing as how…
