Technical schools and training.
What is an appropriate setting for the behaviorist learning theory?

Reward and reinforcement (Sharan & Bireman, 2014)
What are two effective ways to encourage learners feel good about learning?
200
This is how information is processed.
What is basing measurable learning by observation, "Cognitivists focus on insight (the moment when a solution to a problem becomes clear), information processing, problem solving, memory, and the brain How information is processed" (Sharan & Bireman, 2014, p. 31).

Jean Piaget
Whose four-stage theory is a "blueprint that describes the stages of normal intellectual development, from infancy through adulthood"? (Shroff, 2015, para. 1).

1913
When did John B. Watson present his theory of classical conditioning, which started the behaviorist movement? (McLeon, 2008)

"Use concrete props and visual aids whenever possible" in elementary and secondary schools (McLendon, n.d., para. 10).
What is one of Piaget's suggestions for reaching younger students?

Feedback, reinforcement, learning objectives, and behavior modification
What are the traditional behaviorist strategies in the classroom?
300
Observation and experimentation
How do behaviorist measure learning?
300
John B. Watson
Who is known as the founder of behaviorism?
300
Radical Behaviorism
What was Skinner's 1936 theory that deviated from Watson's previous theory of methodological behaviorism? Radical behaviorism that "accepts the view that organisms are born with innate behaviours, and thus recognises the role of genes and biological components in behavior" (McLeod, 2008, para. 10).

What assessment represents Skinner's positive and immediate reinforcement?
300
Positioning tables, chairs, and materials in such a way the instructor can observe the adult learners’ performance compared to the lesson’s learning objectives (Keesee, 2011).
What is an effective way to arrange the classroom for behavioral instruction?

Tabula Rasa
What is the behaviorist theory that the mind is a blank slate?
400
John Anderson
Who created the Adaptive Character of Thought model?
400
In the 1950's and 1960's a new movement emerged in which "People are rational beings that require active participation in order to learn, and whose actions are a consequence of thinking" (Davey, 2017, para. 3)
Cognitivism arose as a response to behaviorism, people are not “programmed animals” that merely respond to environmental stimuli; people are rational beings that require active participation in order to learn, and whose actions are a consequence of thinking
400
This learning theory "suggests that in order to have learning the learner must be actively engaged and being rewarded immediately must reinforce their activity" (Sotto, 2007, p. 35)
What is the behaviorist theory?
400
Demonstrating thinking.
How can an instructor reach and hold adult learners' attention in the classroom?
500

B. F. Skinner
Who is the father of operant conditioning?

Creativity makes a difference.
Noam Chomsky felt creativity was lacking in the behaviorist theory; but, recognized it as essential in the cognitivist theory (University of New Zealand, 2004).

Operant conditioning
What represents the adult learner as a practicing member in his or her class room? (Moore, 2006) (Knowles, 1985).

Flipped classroom
What is using multimedia resources and collaboration in a nontraditionally-arranged classroom to encourage enhanced knowledge? (Wenger, 2015).
