Explain the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning. 3. Define the 4 important components of classical conditioning (UCS, CS, UCR, CR). Then, provide an example of a classical conditioning experiment using examples NOT used in class and not from the internet (when half the class has the same examples, I know something is up). Basically, you will be providing an example of an experiment where a UCS & NS are paired until you have a CS-CR response. This does not have to be a proven experiment, you will be making something up. I’m not grading you on whether it would work, merely if you are providing examples that go along with the theory – namely, if you are using reflexive/involuntary responses and neutral stimuli. 4. Define and provide an example for the 4 key components of operant conditioning (PR, NR, PP, NP). The rules are the same as above, not from class and not from the internet. 5.

3. Define the 4 important components of classical conditioning
(UCS, CS, UCR, CR). Then, provide an example of a classical

art, literature/poetry,
architecture, philosophy/religion, and either or performing arts)
discussed in our course from
the 20
th
century that detail the change in the medium influenced by one
of historical contexts
discussed in our course on Modernism, the Freudian Revolution,
World War(s)/Revolution,
Depression, Existentialism, Ethnic/Racial Identity or
Globalization. Define three distinct
similarities and either or contrasts between these two works and
reflect on how they each

4. represent the time period from which they emerged. As you
write your essay in which you
address each of these comparisons, refer specifically to key
points in our readings,
films, and discussions to help you formulate and justify your
arguments. You may use
any of the course material uploaded on Blackboard to help
develop a more in depth
discussion on the two works of art you have chosen. Use the
three comparisons and
either or contrasts to help organize the content of your essay
(Argument1 =
Comparison/ Contrast1, Argument2 = Comparison/ Contrast2,
and Argument3 =
Comparison/ Contrast3). In your conclusion address how these
two specific works of art
are important to the culture of the 20
th

2. Social Realism: Choose one titled piece of social realism
modern art that is in your

5. textbook. Really try to find something that evokes thought and
either or feeling,
whether positive or negative. Thoroughly discuss your piece: Be
specific and use
descriptive language through applying all of the steps of the art
critiquing process;
Describe, Analyze, Interpret, and Judge. You must address the
following questions in
depth while you are critiquing your chosen piece of social
realism art in order to
demonstrate your understanding of the historical and cultural
context(s) of your chosen
work of art: 1. How does it present socially significant subject
matter in an objective and
lifelike manner? 2. How does it serve as a vehicle of criticism
and political protest? 3.
How does it communicate the concerns of the masses of
society? Use these three
questions to help organize the focus of the content of your essay
(Paragraph1/
Argument1 = Question 1, Paragraph2/ Argument 2= Question 2
and Paragraph3/
Argument 3 = Question 3). I am looking for YOUR thoughts,

6. ideas, and perceptions; this

provided course material and in-
class lectures as your only resources. As you write your essay in
which you address each
of these questions, refer specifically to key events, terms,
artists, authors, works of art
and expression, philosophies in our readings, films, and
discussions to help you
formulate and justify your arguments.
