Provide two real-world, detailed examples of operant conditioning and two real-world, detailed examples of respondent conditioning.
This week, you explored two types of learningoperant and respondent conditioning. With respondent conditioning, individuals emit reflexive behavior in the presence of certain stimuli. With operant conditioning, behaviors continue to occur, or not, due to the consequences that follow them. As behavior analysts, we frequently use operant conditioning to teach new behaviors (and eliminate old behaviors) by manipulating the consequences that follow them. Respondent conditioning is also used by behavior analysts, for example, by establishing various reinforcers through pairing of stimuli.For this assignment, complete the following:Define operant and respondent conditioning.Describe the similarities and differences between these two types of learning.Provide two real-world, detailed examples of operant conditioning and two real-world, detailed examples of respondent conditioning.

To help you with your reply, please consider the following questions: 250 words each part 1 and 2What did you learn from the posting?What additional questions do you have after reading the posting?What clarification do you need regarding the posting?What differences or similarities do you see between your initial discussion thread and your classmates postings?Ask each other questions about why the specific training methods were selected.How do the types of training methods selected by your classmate apply to other learning style(s)?Analyze your classmates training objectives. Do the learning objectives describe the key conditions, observable performance or behavior, and set the standard for performance? What modifications would you suggest to ensure trainees understand the expectations clearly?Part 1As we have all learned throughout this course, not one person is similar in how they prefer to learn as another person would. This is why it is important that as a trainer in an organization you are aware of the groups who you will be teaching, their titles/positions, the location of the training, and the methods of delivery for training before you begin the preparation for the training. These steps would help you be successful when conducting and delivering training in your organization. I have chosen three types of training methods to review with you all and how they function during the delivery of a training course. Equipment Simulator (technical skills)This activity involves the operation or maintenance of equipment. These activities are meant to imitate a process as if you were doing the real thing. The type of activities could be virtually operating machinery, whether that may be an airplane, construction equipment, or navigating a ship. This provides a tangible experience for the trainee to really feel like they are in the moment operating the machinery in real-time, this is also otherwise known as physical fidelity simulation (Blanchard and Thacker, 2019). This learning style and activities accommodate gaming or simulation styles. Some adult learning characteristics that trainees should have to be able to properly practice and incorporate themselves into the training is the willingness to be self-led learning. The negative piece of this type of learning style is that it could be very costly, especially for the equipment needed. Training objective: The objective during a training session utilizing the equipment simulator is for the trainee to gain knowledge of the processes, procedures, and meaning of each part of a machine. The skills and knowledge needed for one to gain a good understanding of the training are going to require someone who is hands-on as a preferred learning method and someone who is analytical. Be sure that as a trainer or instructor you are determining the critical thinking skills of each of your trainees. Role PlayThis activity and method involve the enactment of a scenario in which each participant is given a role to act out. Typically, once the role is acted out, the trainer will review the practice session with those involved and those in the audience and reflect on if there could be any improvement or success. These can come in many environments and locations, it can be in a traditional training group session which can be structured, spontaneous on-the-spot training that could be one-on-one with management, or a single role-play. The learning style that this activity and method accommodates is that of an adult learner who would rather learn from their own experiences during their training sessions and is under the games and simulations styled learning. The only negative thing about this process is that during the time of feedback, trainees are typically reluctant to provide negative feedback to peers (Blanchard and Thacker, 2019). As well as it is only half controlled by the trainer since the other role parts would be acted out by trainees. Training objective:The objective of this training method or style is to have the trainee become more comfortable during situations that could be uncomfortable and to allow the trainee to be able to fully conduct the simulation that is recreated in real life, whether that may be with a real client or training another employee. The skills and knowledge needed for this learning simulation are simply for the trainee and the trainer to be knowledgeable in the role-playing that will be conducted. As for a trainer, you can prepare for role-playing by generating phases in the role play so that your trainees can be ready for the next phase in the role play (Plummer, 2019). Straight LectureThis type of teaching and training is conducted as a presentation by the trainer on selected content and the role of the trainee is to gain as much information as possible. Some activities that the trainers must do to ensure that all content is shared on the topic is to prepare for their lecture or presentation with the right data, layouts, and topics that will be covered. This learning style is under the lectures and demonstrations style and typically accommodates adult learners who are particularly interested in relevant information that pertains to their jobs or goal setting and achievement. For example, if an organization is in need of addressing a time management concern, then this training will accommodate those who need new methods to help overcome time management to achieve their goals and tasks. A characteristic of this learning style that should be considered is if the training is more than 20-30 minutes long, then it should be broken into segments since trainees typically will lose interest in long-duration training. The negative part of this style is that the instructor could make many small errors which then the trainee will become distracted. For example, the instructor could use a monotone voice during their lecture, or the instructor could just read from a slide and not actually lecture on the content being shared. Training objective:The training objective of this teaching method/style is to present all information on a topic to employees/trainees and for them to grasp all the information presented which they can implement in their roles. The skills and knowledge needed for this type of training can be very specific as you want your trainees to be able to easily grasp and retain the information given while implementing it in their day-to-day routines. It would need to involve individuals who are experienced in their roles and the business to ensure great success from the training conducted. The trainer must ensure that their presentation is clearly defined and delivered effectively for trainees to properly say they understand that they have learned. References Alicia HBlanchard, P.

Retrieved from https://hbr.org/2019/10/a-short-guide-to-building-your-teams-critical-thinking-skillsPart 2Lecture/Discussion method uses a lecturette to provide learners with information and depends on interaction between the learners and instructor to deepen the understanding. This can be far more powerful than a lecture alone as the combination allows for application of the information immediately after. This sequence of event reinforces the topic and does an excellent job of providing the instructor with immediate feedback regarding retention and learning. This type of method favors intuitive learners who prefer new concepts, learn quickly, and do not like training which requires a great deal of memorization (Blanchard and Thacker, 2019). A learning objective would be, Learn 3 techniques for delivering feedback and understand how they are applied in the workplace.Demonstration method is a visual display of how to accomplish a task. This can be used integrated into the lecture/discussion method and is very effective when training objectives are to improve skills and technical abilities. The best way to utilize this method is to provide the equipment or materials needed for learning used within the demonstration. As this can be an effective means of learning, acquiring the materials or equipment for demonstrations can be costly. This method is the best for visual learners who understand information by using pictures, diagrams, or actual demonstrations (Blanchard and Thacker, 2019). A learning objective for this method would be, Observe and be able to demonstrate the steps in providing appropriate feedback.Role-playing method is where learners are required to apply acquired skills and knowledge to the simulated situations. Based on the learning objectives, the role-play may be structured or require spontaneous actions from participants. This can follow a lecture and its an excellent way to keep the attention of learners as well as engaged on the topic. For larger groups, role-play can be difficult to execute due to room configuration or sheer number of those who can participate. This is an excellent method for active learners who require stimulus or activity to keep their attention during learning activities. A learning objective for this method could be, Be able to provide feedback for poor performing employees.References: Nick PBlanchard, P. N., & Thacker, J. W. (2019).

The murdered of Tupac Shakur in particularly and the impact is had on the music industry.10 page analysis of a significant historic/cultural event that has influenced human behaviors, human expression, ethics, and which you can analyze and provide future recommendations.Before you submit your paper, take another look at the assignment Requirements below to make sure you have included all the necessary elements:Final Research Paper Overview (written in third person):Introduction (1 page)Brief background of topicWhy topic is important to analyzeThesisAnalysis of Humanities (3 pages)Human BehaviorHuman ExpressionEthicsCritical Analysis of Situation & Recommendations (3 pages)Relevance to contemporary issues/future concernsRecommendations for future considerations and future areas of studyEvaluation of recommendations: rationale for recommendations to address the topic, and why they would be successfulConclusion (end of research paper) (1 page)Reiteration of thesisReiteration of why topic is importantPersonal Reflection (separate section written in first person) (2 pages)Lessons learned from completing this projectCritical analysis of process challenges: what would you do differently?Critical analysis of process positives: what did you do well?Application of critical analysis to professional/personal lifeFinal thoughtsTitle PageThe title page needs to adhere to the APA format required by the University. There is a sample of an APA formatted title page in the Writing Center. For the title page, create an interesting and catchy title that motivates your audience to read your paper.Introduction (1 page)Your papers introduction should include the background or history of your chosen event, why the topic is important to research and analyze, and your thesis.First, the introduction should provide a bit of background for your reader. Do not assume your reader knows about the topic and its history. Share with your reader the time and place that the event occurred and provide a little background. Include a brief review of what led up to the event, why it was such a significant or historic moment, who it involved, etc.Then, add in the introduction why this is an important topic for research and analysis both for current and future concerns.Finally, the thesis is the main point of your paper. You should consider your objective (what is the main point you want your reader to remember), consider your audience, and make the thesis connect to what will be covered in your paper. Since the Final Research Paper specifically requires that you discuss how the event influenced human behavior, human expression, and ethics, your thesis should reflect this. For example, World War II was a significant historic event that had a tremendous effect on societys behaviors, resulted in a diverse range of human expression, and raised ethical considerations that may influence society for years to come. You will want to make a connection between your thesis and the discussion to follow. In this way, your reader is given a preview of the content of the paper and why it is important.Discussion/AnalysisThis is the main body of your paper. Now that your reader knows your main point and has the necessary historic context for the event, you can analyze how the topic influenced human behavior, human expression, the ethical considerations related to the event, your critical analysis, recommendations and evaluation of the recommendations.Human Behavior, Human Expression, & Ethics (3 pages)In your discussion on human behavior, you should identify the behavioral response to the event. Keep in mind that sometimes behaviors are connected to human expression; therefore, you may find that your discussion on human behavior overlaps with human expression. As you explore the human behavior related to the event, consider the following:What were some of the behavioral responses to the event (war, riots, celebrations, the manner people dressed, actions they took, causes they joined, etc.)?What emotions were tied to these behaviors (anger, joy, grief, etc.)?Why did people respond the way that they did?Did distinctive groups (cultural, religious, genders, geographically different, socioeconomically different, etc.) respond differently to the event? If so, why?What were the effects on the way people dressed, how political they became, changes in traditional roles or societys expectations?When you discuss human expression, keep in mind that often, human expression is exhibited through behaviors. Therefore, you may find overlap as you write about these two areas. For example, joining a political movement is both a behavior and an expression of beliefs. Some examples of human expression are:Other questions to consider as you research human expression related to your topic are:What was the emotion that led to the expression (shock, horror, triumph, fear, joy, etc.)?How does diversity affect the expression (example: do some ethnic groups produce certain forms of art, how is art connected to gender, religion, race, etc.)?When analyzing ethical issues, there are two ways to approach this topic. You can either consider how ethical issues led to the event (for example, the morality of slavery leading to the Civil War) or how the event itself resulted in ethical dilemmas/conflicts. An example of this might be the ability of technology to conduct stem-cell research, is it ethical to do so? In your paper, you may opt to take either approach or address both of these aspects if they both apply to your topic. Some questions that will help you develop this discussion of your paper are:What are the opposing perspectives on this issue?Are there extenuating circumstances that sometimes make this event viewed as right or wrong?How do religious beliefs, nationality, ethnicity, gender, economic status, and other aspects of diversity influence the interpretation of this event?Who is (was) talking about this event and whose voice is (was) not heard or included?What are the elements of power and privilege that are relevant to this event?What bias, agendas, stereotypes and/or prejudices are evident?Has hindsight changed the views of the ethical issues?Be sure to present a balanced view in your ethical discussion. Even if you strongly affiliate yourself with a particular view on the topic, use your critical thinking and research skills to also present opposing viewpoints to provide an objective presentation. Remember, this is a research paper, not an opinion paper.Critical Analysis of Situation & Recommendations (3 pages)For this section, use critical thinking skills to analyze the event and provide discussion on the relevance of the topic to contemporary issues, as well as future concerns that the event may create. Since your topic is on a significant historic/cultural event, there are likely some lasting consequences or influences that resulted from it. Questions to help with the analysis in your discussion:How did the event change the world or at least change some aspect of society?How did the event raise concerns for the future and/or how does the issue continue to evolve?What are the lessons learned from the event?What will people do differently now than they did before?How are governments, education or other parts of the social structure responding to the event?What laws have been put in place because of the event?What organizations or movements continue to be active?How does the topic background/ context/ outcome relate to current issues?Is the topic ongoing or can it happen again?What can be learned from the topic/ outcome that can be applied to future considerations?What areas of future study would you recommend to understand this topic?The last aspect of this discussion area should be recommendations to address the topic/ event and rationale for why the recommendations would work.If the topic is ongoing, how to manage it, end it and/or how society can take steps either that it does not happen again or to promote its further existence and broadening (depending on if the topic is a societal positive or negative).What specific recommendations could be/ can be applied to the situation?Explain why these recommendations would work short and long term.Conclusion (1 page)Your conclusion should tie your entire paper together. It should strongly reconnect with your thesis (the main point of your paper), briefly summarize the discussion section and reiterate why the topic is important.The conclusion is the end of your research paper that is written in third person. However, for the critical thinking process, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate your reflection into the process. Add a separate section that is written in first person (your personal narrative) including these elements:Personal Reflection (separate section written in first person) (2 pages)Lessons learned from completing this projectAnalysis of process challenges what would you do differently?Analysis of process positives what did you do well?Application of critical analysis to professional/personal lifeFinal thoughtsReferencesRemember that your References page must be completed in APA format. There are many sample papers in the Writing Center and there are helpful documents throughout the class on proper editing and formatting of an APA paper. An academic paper such as this one must include proper APA in text citations throughout that correspond to the Reference page entries.Requirements for the Capstone Paper SourcesThere must be at least 10 sources and the sources need to include the following:1 primary source (interview, speech, etc.)3 peer reviewed articles from scholarly journals (from the Library)1 source originally published as a book5 other sources (book, scholarly journals, newspapers, primary/secondary sources, websites, etc.)Your paper must also include the additional elements listed below. When adding these to your paper, include a summary of each in terms of the content, the meaning, what the topic of the information is, and why it is relevant to support your Final Research Paper topic.Five examples of quantitative data: Four noted as statistics and at least one chart or graph incorporated in the discussionOne video: Add the website link to the video in your discussion on the topic (could be your primary source of interview, speech, etc., or something else that is relevant to the topic). Remember to check the link to make sure it works before submitting the final version.Be sure to accurately cite these materials in APA format with both in text citations in the discussion (body of the paper) and with a corresponding reference on the Reference page.
