succession repeatedly
 The response given to one becomes
associated with the other

 Eventually taught dogs to salivate when he
rang a bell
› Rang bell, provided stimulus (food), and
achieved desired reflex (salivation)
› Dogs started to associate bell sound with food
and began to salivate without food being
presented
 Behaviorists saw human applications in his
work

 Rewards for students behaving correctly

incorrectly
 Students eventually don’t need
rewards/punishments
 Detailed schedules for days and weeks

11. Back to Menu

 If a student is behaving correctly they will
be rewarded

to the class
 Other students will see and learn that if
they behave the end results will be great!

punished
› Time out, something taken away
 Or, they will be verbally reprimanded
› Note in agenda, sent to principal, call to parents
