This document summarizes key concepts in behaviorism through several theorists and experiments. It discusses Ivan Pavlov's classic conditioning experiments with dogs and operant conditioning with rewards and punishments shaping behavior through Thorndike and Skinner's work with animals. Bandura expanded this to social learning theory, demonstrating observational learning and modeling behaviors. The document proposes applying behaviorism in education through rewarding positive behaviors and answers to reinforce learning, both with and without technology. It concludes that behaviorism provides effective ways to teach through conditioning and rewards.

2. How we understand human behavior through prediction and control Learning through positive and negative rewards

3. 1849-1936 Became who he was by using dogs in an experiment Taught dogs to salivate when they heard a bell

4. Classic Conditioning Stimulus=Food, Reflex=Salivation Provided stimulus, achieved his desired reflex Dogs learned to associate bell with food, began to salivate with only ringing of bell and no food

5. 1904-1990 Operant Conditioning Stimulus=Behavior, Response=Reward Rewarding when the desired behavior is seen Pigeons Taught them how to dance

6. Believed people shape behavior based on positive or negative rewards Good action=good reward

7. 1925- Social Learning/Social Cognitive Theory Focused on motivational factors that contribute to behavior

8. Observational Modeling Mimicking the behavior observed Self-efficacy- motivate to learn Imagery- analyze person’s personality through: Environment Behavior Person’s physiological processes

9. With Technology and behaviorism: Use programs that are related to a subject If the student get’s answer correct, extra credit points rewarded Without Technology Games in class, and rewards for correct answer

10. With technology Play games online to try to receive extra credit points Without technology Participate in classroom activities to try to earn extra credit

11. Overall, behaviorism is a great way to teach Reasons why I would use Behaviorism: Reward students for good behavior Reward students for correct answers Punishment for poor behavior
