We will go over this on when we meet on Thursday. If you are
unsure how to do this assignment you might wait until after we meet in class.
This assignment will ask that you find interesting video clips on
the internet. The clips can be cartoons like 'family guy,' sit coms like 'big
bang,' commercials, music videos, just about anything you typically enjoy
watching. What we do not want is a video produced to expressly
demonstrate the specific behavioral topic.
For originality sake, make sure the videos you are not using the
same videos used by students before you.
So far we have discussed superstitious behavior and schedules of
reinforcement.
What we would like you to do is to find a video clip off the
internet illustrating superstitious behavior.
For this clip we would like you to 1) briefly describe/summarize
the clip. 2) tell us what behavior (target behavior) you are using that
illustrates the superstitious behavior (please note what time it occurs in the
video), 3) tell us what the consequence of the behavior is, 4) tell us if the
consequence involves the addition of something or if it involves the removal of
something, 50 tell us how you think this behavior occurred, and finally, 6)
tell us to the antecedent is.
Please list the ABC's of the target behavior in the clip before
the superstitious behavior occurred:
A=
B=
C=
Now discuss the behavior in terms of the ABCs once the
superstitions behavior began.
We have discussed schedules of reinforcement.
Now we would like you to do is to find a video clip off the internet
illustrating schedules of reinforcement (other than continuous reinforcement)
For this clip we would like you to 1) briefly describe/summarize
the clip. 2) tell us what behavior (target behavior) you are using that
illustrates the what is being reinforced with a schedule of reinforcement (please
note what time it occurs in the video), 3) tell us what the consequence of the
behavior is, 4) tell us if the consequence involves the addition of something
undesirable or if it involves the removal of something desirable, and finally,
5) what is the schedule of reinforcement being demonstrated, 6) tell us to the
antecedent is.
Please list the ABC's of the target behavior in the clip:
A=
B=
C=
Now state if this is an example of positive reinforcement, or negative
reinforcement. Explain why. What would happen of the schedule of reinforcement
changes where it takes twice as long or twice as many responses to get
reinforced?
When you are done with both clips, copy and paste the URLs at the
bottom so we can go and see the videos you used. Paste the superstitious
behavior URL first and then the schedule of reinforcement URL.
Once
you are done with your post make list of the terms and terminology you used in
your post.
Let us know if you have any questions
