PSY340 PSYCHOLOGY OF LEARNING

Module 3 Assignment  

Your Real Life Demonstration of Operant Conditioning

The major purpose of these final assignments in each module is to integrate the information you have learned throughout the current module and the course thus far, and to practice effective and professional communication of your ideas in various formats.  Remember last week?  Well, this assignment requires you to apply the principles of operant conditioning and to video and write about the results.  Sound familiar?

Successful completion of this activity meets Module Outcome 1.

This activity aligns with the career competencies of oral communication and digital technology.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Remember last week?  Well, for this assignment, you will create an original demonstration of operant conditioning.  Be sure to use your feedback from last week to improve!

You may choose to video a demonstration of your example and submit a brief description explaining your application.  Alternatively, you may choose to create a voiceover multimedia presentation to demonstrate your example.  In either instance, you need to orally describe the demonstration.

The situation must be described in terms of operant conditioning. Within each description, identify the antecedents and consequences, including the principles likely to be at work.

It’s recommended that you briefly write out a script for yourself before you create the video or presentation. Scripts help you sound more focused and polished while keeping the information clear and concise.  Follow the tips located at the beginning of our course to maximize the impact of your script and video.

Canvas allows you to create video right within our LMS, or you can use your phone or other video tool to create the video.  If you need assistance, follow the directions provided in the “Technical Guidance” document, found at the beginning of our course.

If you choose to complete a multimedia presentation you should utilize images, writing, and video and/or audio (your voiceover, which is required).  Your presentation can be completed in Powerpoint, Prezi, Powtoons, or another platform approved by your instructor. 

Your video or presentation should be a maximum of 2 minutes long.
