According to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, what is the most immediate and direct environment surrounding an individual, including the people and relationships they interact with regularly, like family, friends, school, or workplace?
Microsystem
When a dog, who has been conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell (paired with food), stops salivating when the bell is rung after the food is no longer presented (extinction), but then suddenly starts salivating again to the bell sound after a period of time without exposure to the bell is an example of?
Spontaneous Recovery
Every time a parent gives their child candy, they ring a small bell at the same time. At first, the bell is just a sound with no special meaning to the child. However, after many repetitions, the child starts to associate the bell sound with the excitement of getting candy. Eventually, even when the parent rings the bell without offering candy, the child feels happy and excited, just as they would if they had actually received the treat. What is the UCS and UCR?
UCS =Candy, UCR = Happy
What is the technique in where a teacher gradually removes guidance and support as students learn and become more competent.
Scaffolding
Name and describe the four parenting style.
Authoritarian -A firm style that leaves little room for negotiation. Can be used when safety is a concern
Permissive - A style where parents let their children do what they want, with limited guidance. Parents may be more like friends than parents. Parents may prioritize their child's happiness over structure
Uninvolved - A style where parents give their children a lot of freedom and stay out of their way. Parents may be indifferent to their children's needs. This style can be harmful and lead to negative consequences for children.
Authoritative - A style that some believe is the most beneficial. Parents consider their children's wants and needs, and provide emotional support.
According to Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, what is the external environments that indirectly influence a person's development, even though they are not directly involved in those settings?
Exosystem
Every time a parent gives their child candy, they ring a small bell at the same time. At first, the bell is just a sound with no special meaning to the child. However, after many repetitions, the child starts to associate the bell sound with the excitement of getting candy. Eventually, even when the parent rings the bell without offering candy, the child feels happy and excited, just as they would if they had actually received the treat. What is the NS and CS?
NS/CS = Bell Sound
A teacher wants to encourage students to turn in their homework on time. Every time a student submits their homework on the due date, they receive a small sticker as a reward. Over time, more students begin turning in their homework on time. What type of operant conditioning is being used in this scenario, and why does it work?
Positive Reinforcement, This works because the students associate completing their homework on time with receiving a reward, which increases the likelihood that they will repeat the behavior in the future.
