Determine whether this is an example of the Premack Principle or not. (say what is yes or no for the answer)

A student is acting inappropriately on Monday in a school setting. The teacher tells the student they can’t do what they were doing, without offering a solution. The student continues acting the way they did the whole week. On Friday, the teacher says if you stop doing that, you can help me with this activity. The student agrees and stops.

What is no?

Reason: Yes, the teacher does eventually offer a solution to the problem. BUT, there was no effort in encouraging good behaviour throughout the week by the teacher. The Premack Principle requires immediate solutions and not delayed ones.

Determine whether this is an example of the Flooding approach or not. (say what is yes or no for the answer)

A teacher says on the first day of classes that they will need to think of a speech of what they did over the summer. They only have a couple days and need to memorize it. The teacher says they don’t need to speak very long but some specific details would be appreciated.

What is yes?

Reason: The flooding approach uses a mild shock factor and because so much minimal time is given, students will actively be thinking about it outside of class.

A student has been practicing their piano everyday very well. The teacher has been positively reinforcing them and encouraging them to practice everyday. As an award, the teacher says they don’t need to practice for a week. 

What is no?

Reason: Yes, you are encouraging them with positive behaviour. BUT, to a goal that encourages no work being done at all, taking the value out of the work up to the reward.

Determine whether this is an example of the Shaping approach or not. (say what is yes or no for the answer)

A teacher assigns an essay to their students. The marks are focused on the essay only. The students did know about it ahead of time. The teacher gave a recommendation to do an outline but didn’t assign it. They were given a reasonable amount of time, but it was relatively early into the school year.

What is no?

Reason: Yes, the teacher warned them about it ahead of time, and gave them a reasonable amount of time to complete it. BUT, the teacher made it clear that there was no true focus on the gradual successes to work towards the final project. Shaping involves small steps to improve habits and behaviours overtime.
