Consider a behavior that you would like to teach someone. This could be a friend, a child, a co-worker, etc. Describe the behavior and select one of the learning theories we learned about this week (i.e. observational learning, operant conditioning, etc.) as the framework for how you would teach the person that behavior. Explain how you would ensure they have learned the behavior and why you felt that approach would work best for the particular behavior and setting. What challenges do you encounter to the learning process using your planned approach?
You read about healthy development in the three domains of the physical, cognitive, and emotional throughout this book.
From what you read in the two chapters for this week, pick out 3-5 factors that contribute to healthy development that were unusual, unique, or which you had never thought about before. Choose concepts/facts that are under our control—so the idea here is to focus on what we can do to better stimulate development. Think creatively and support your answer. Draw in class text concepts and cite correctly, for full credit. Show how your main topics actually relate to healthy development.
