Paper #1: Applications of Learning Principles Due: November 9. at 11:59PM; After this time 5 points will be deducted each day. -5 points for incorrect submissions
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate that you understand how learning principles can be applied to improve conditions in everyday life.
YOU MUST CONDUCT THIS AS A CURRENT EXPERIMENT —THIS IS NOT TO BE HYPOTHETICAL AND NOT TO BE A PAST EXPERIMENT.
REQUIREMENTS: Written in a professional format 5 Page minimum — 500 words per page DO NOT CITE URLs ON YOUR REFERENCE PAGE. 5 OUTSIDE resources, cited throughout your paper AND REFERENCED AT THE END
Select a specific behavior that you wish to change ; describe it. Explain what the behavior is now and what you hope it will be after intervention. Set up an experiment to use a learning principle on someone and evaluate the outcome.
1. Decide whether this behavior is best changed using operant conditioning principles or using classical conditioning . Explain your choice.
2. Describe a specific strategy for changing the behavior. That is, how will you modify the behavior using reinforcements/extinction, or using stimulus pairing? Give a step-by-step description of the intervention.
3. What specific outcomes do you expect?
4. What were the actual outcomes? How do you know whether the intervention succeeded or failed? If it failed, what are some reasons that might have caused the failure?
