• In this question you will make up an experiment using classical conditioning. Please create an example using the following scenario.
• Describe how you would use operant conditioning, with a program of shaping, to get a messy roommate to make his/her bed neatly. Include and label the antecedent stimulus, response, and reinforcement of the changing program standards, and a method of self-regulation for the roommate.
• In a hypothetical psychology internship, you have encountered a child with destructive tendencies. She bites herself, her dog, and your bag of supplies. Being afraid for her safety and your own well-being, you institute a plan to change her behavior. Suggest a punishment, with her possible reactions to that punishment. Then, try substituting an alternative behavior by reinforcing an incompatible response. Label the antecedent stimulus for the biting response, Punishment I or II, escape or avoidance, and the reinforcement for the new named response. What do you consider to be the best theory or method for improving this child’s behavior?
• Give an example of a situation where you can model more effective behavior for someone whom you could positively influence. Describe in detail: yourself (the model), the observer, the behavior, and the reinforcement using at least 5 principles of Social Learning Theory.

Explain how you would evoke a startle response (reflex) using classical conditioning in an unsuspecting friend using an abnormal signal (produces the reflex). Describe your friend’s reflex response and a signal that will produce that reflex response; then choose another signal for the reflex and predict the outcome of using that signal. Clearly label the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS), Unconditioned Response (UCR), Conditioned Stimulus (CS), and Conditioned Response (CR). Include a description of the setting and process for this hypothetical situation. Below is an abbreviated example.

For example, every time your roommate opens the refrigerator door you make an alarm goes off on your phone and the roommate jumps. After this happens several times, the roommate will jump when they open the refrigerator door even without the alarm going off.

Research Project – Week Three

You will receive feedback on the previous week’s assignment by Sunday 11:59pm. Before you complete your Week Three assignment, please read your instructor’s comments about your Week Two assignment, as well as this week’s lecture. Be sure to include any suggested changes in your project going forward. 

In a three- to four-page paper (not including the title and references pages),

1. Include a revised version of your introduction, research question, background research, hypothesis, research design, and sampling plan. These revisions must be based on your instructor’s feedback if your instructor provided additional comments about these sections in Week Two.
2. Describe the possible types of secondary data used for hypothesis testing, including a discussion of whether or not one or more types of secondary data could be used to test your hypothesis and why this secondary data would or would not be useful. 
3. Describe the possible measurement benchmarks and scales used for hypothesis testing, including a discussion of whether or not your survey should include measurement benchmarks and scales to test your hypothesis and why these measurement benchmarks and scales would or would not be useful. 
4. Include an APA-formatted references list (on a separate references page).

Your paper must be formatted according to APA style

Nice start! You have identified a problem and have established that it is, in fact, a problem. Crime in the streets is certainly a pressing issue that calls for a speedy resolution. While you have discussed this general problem fairly well, you have actually not specified what area you are writing about. Crime can occur anywhere, of course, but the particularities of each community certainly matter. Some of the contributing factors you name, such as inadequate street lighting or scarce police presence, may not be factors in every area experiencing a crime wave. Being specific about the location of the problem can help you to explain to your audience the particular nuances of that area and also help you to better develop a unique solution tailored to that area. Your overall scope here is good, and I have no doubt that the statistics you cite back you up. However, the assignment calls for you to identify a local problem and then to propose, develop, and defend one particular solution. You are getting there, but have not quite done that yet. If you choose to revise, I recommend editing this work to address a local issue of crime and to focus on just one way to address the problem. It might not be the absolute solution, but just try to focus on advancing the best solution you can think of.

Overall, this is a start in the right direction with room for improvement. Nice start!

This praxis asks you to listen and read about a controversial topic and to reflect on your own stance on the issues related to identity, the sound of talk, and conversation style. Here is how you should proceed.

1) Listen and read. Listen to and read the following three pieces on the sound of young women’s voices. As you read and listen, feel free to take notes that help you answer the questions below.

• From Upspeak to Vocal Fry: Are we Policing Young Women’s Voices? http://www.npr.org/2015/07/23/425608745/from-upspeak-to-vocal-fry-are-we-policing-young-womens-voices

• Naomi Wolf

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/24/vocal-fry-strong-female-voice

• A response to Naomi Wolf

2) Note 3 Research Findings cited in these articles that you find most interesting and compelling for thinking about the sound of talk, conversation style, and identities.

3) Note 3 Comments (not research findings, but opinions and viewpoints from speakers, writers, or others being quoted in the readings) from the three pieces that you find most annoying, offensive, or inflammatory for thinking about identity, conversational style, and the sound of talk.

4) Take a stand: Are we policing young women’s voices? Are people policing how men and people of other ages sound? Are there any aspects of your voice that you feel are frequently criticized or under attack? What are the identity implications of these criticisms and evaluations?
