The behaviorists would say that nothing occurs by accident. Every behavior is shaped by the principles of classical and operant conditioning. Read about the behavioral concepts of classical and operant conditioning in Ch. 5. Apply these concepts to your own life by answering the questions below.
1. Give one specific example of how classical conditioning has shaped your own behavior. Be specific–identify the conditioned/unconditioned stimulus and conditioned/unconditioned response.
2. Think back to your elementary school years. The adults in your life (parents, teachers, family members) were given the task of teaching you “right from wrong”. Think of one example from your childhood where positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement was used to shape your behavior. Give a specific, detailed example and then identify the specific operant conditioning technique that was used. Pay close attention to this assignment, as students often get the terms negative reinforcement and punishment confused.
3. Give one example where the operant conditioning principle of punishment was used to modify your behavior. Was it successful in stopping or reducing the undesirable behavior?
4. What does the research say about the behavioral principles that are most effective in modifying a child’s undesirable behavior?
