Case Study






1. Mr. Corbert show examples from the behaviorist theory by using reinforcement. According to the theorist Skinner, when Mr. Corbert praises the others student walking quietly in line the other students are being reinforced. Mr. Corbert also uses theorist, Thorndike's law of effect theory when he tells Johnathan it is not nice to point or tattle. That way Mindy doesn't not want to be revokes for doing such an action.

2. Mindy hears the teacher comment on how a table walks to the line for recess. She then makes an effort to walk to line. She learned by vicarious reinforcement.

3. Mindy hears the teacher tell Johnathan not to point so Mindy learned vicariously that she should not point.

4. Mindy wants to get the approval of her teacher so she behaves in a certain way to achieve a certain goal. She listens to what the teacher approves of and what he does not. She also observes others and notices what is good or bad behavior. Then she tries to act in a certain way.
