Today in class with a partner you are going to take time to review your weakest vocabulary via either:
 * Option A.** Examining one person's behavior, choose one aspect of their behavior to condition/modify, and designing a plan for modifying that behavior. (There is no "correct" person to choose in the video clip)
 * Option B.** Observing at a trained animal and deciding how you think they were trained (don't google it, try to figure it out) and creating a plan for how they were trained. (Some clips are long-ish, you can choose one part of the trick.)
 * Option C.** finding a youtube video (no more than 5mins searching) for a less than 5min clip of a person or animal doing something and then either training/conditioning them to do something else or determining how it was that they learned how to do what it is that they do.

For any option that you choose you will begin by articulating if the activity in question is Classical Conditioning or Operant Conditioning. Then you will include the relevant vocabulary terms through answering each question. Please restate the questions in your answers, if you cut and paste the entire option question list in order to answer the questions in order, delete the step by step questions that I wrote so that your answers flow.

Work together with your partner to do this and post your responses on this wiki. Please title the post with both of your names and indicate in the post what option and video you choose by name of show or animal. If you choose option C, please include a link to the video so I know what you are talking about.

Step 1: Select one person in the video clip whose behavior you are going to modify. It is fine if you don't know their name, just describe them politely and adequately. Note: you can pick anyone, child, parent, whoever you decide most needs to modify their behavior. Step 2. Determine precisely the specific behavior you want to modify. Explain why you think this change would be beneficial to the person, their family, and/or society. Step 3: Will you use classical or operant conditioning for your training? Explain why you will be choosing one. Then explain why the other would not be a good fit. Step 4: What steps do you think you would need to go through in order to condition their behavior? Be precise. This can be done in bullet points. Give details including how long will it take. Use the following relevant vocabulary terms: Step 5: Post your write up here in the comment section, indicating which video clip you selected. //Vocabulary to use below!//
 * Option A:**

Option 1: Toddlers and Tiaras Option 2: [|World's Strictest Parents] Option 3: [|Preachers' Daughters] Option 4: Kim of Queens Option 5: My Strange Addiction Option 6: Freaky Eaters

Step 1: Do you think that the animal was trained through classical or operant conditioning? Explain why. Step 2: Explain why do you think they did not use the other option? Step 3: Bullet point the steps you would have used to train the animal to do the same trick. Step 4: How would you know that the animal had learned the trick? Step 5: Post your write up here in the comment section, indicating which video clip you selected. //Vocabulary to use below!//
 * Option B:** (Some of these are long tricks, you can focus in on just one part to make it easier.)

Option 1: Skidboot, genius dog Option 2: Norman rides a bike Option 3: bird makes coffee Option 4: mini horse Option 5: pig tricks

Step 1: Find a video of an animal or person that you either want to train or determine how they were trained. For the former, then follow the steps in option A, for the latter, follow the steps in option B.
 * Option C:**

classical conditioning (cc) -the learned pairing of an action with a stimulus operant conditioning (OC) -modifying behavior by rewarding or punishing behavior in order to shape a particular outcome. unconditioned response (CC) -an action/behavior that is not yet trained. conditioned response (CC) -an action/behavior that is now owned/displayed/mastered. unconditioned stimulus (CC) -something that will eventually be connected with a reaction/response. conditioned stimulus (CC) -something that is connected to a reaction. Like you know that the bell means to change classes. stimulus generalization (either) - all input (sound, taste, whatever) means the same thing. ex: all bells mean run outside and scream fire higher-order conditioning (either) - primary reinforcers (OC) -something you don't have to learn to love or hate. base biological needs. secondary reinforcers (OC) - something that you learned to love or hate negative reinforcement (OC) positive reinforcement (OC) discrimination (either) - reinforcement schedule (OC) -how often a reinforcement is introduced. extinction (either) -forgetting spontaneous recovery (either) -remembering intermittent reinforcement schedule (OC) -offering positive or negative stimulus occasionally constant reinforcement schedule (OC) -every time the desired action is performed, a positive or negative stimulus is presented
