What is Positive Reinforcement and Positive Punishment

Mr. Jonas teaches physics class and typically uses only lectures which involve a high amount of complicated and long terms and definitions.

Lyla is taking an economics class freshman year of college and feels like it is a completely different language, the information is so new and confusing.

What is cognitive overload?

Miss Lane read a research study about a cool new reading program where students who practiced phonemic awareness (letter-sound associations) while doing jumping jacks did better than students in the normal reading curriculum on the state test. These students also got after school reading tutoring. Miss Lane was so excited to try the jumping jack strategy with her students only to be disappointed when it failed - they did not do any better on their state exam. She made the faulty assumption that the jumping jacks directly resulted in better test scores, ignoring the fact that the students also had undergone after school tutoring. This is an example of a failure to recognize that THIS (a relationship between variables) does not equal THIS.
