MIDTERM

Post your desired topics, and potential questions here...by Friday.


 * (Regarding questions: I cannot guarantee identical questions but..something similar should ideally appear).

Potential Questions What would a behavioralist classroom look like? Highlight the differences from a cognitivist-style classroom.** -give an example of how we have been conditioned. what type of conditioning is this an example of and why? -what did the bobo doll study show? -Use information processing to explain why it is important to allow time for rehearsal/practice in the classroom. -in class we had a discussion on the book suggesting that, for low achieving students, automaticity constraints should be removed. i think a good question would be asking us to agree or disagree with removing automaticity constraints for low achieving students and to support our position with what we know about transfer or with anything else we have learned so far in this course. -Use intelligence theory to explain why effort, not just intelligence, should be rewarded. **

(Desired?) Topics -comparison between Piaget and Vygotsky models of constructivism -importance of modeling in social learning theory -implications of metacognition in the classroom -Schedules of Reinforcement, which is most effective? -model characteristics -types of models -affect of vicarious reinforcement, vicarious punishment, and and self-efficacy on behavior - methods of processing information to get it from our working memory to our long term memory -factors that effect how much attention we pay to environmental stimuli -difference between high and low road transfer -affects of automaticity on transfer -incremental view of intelligence **
 * -Positive Reinforcement, Negative Reinforcement, Presentation Punishment, Removal Punishment
