Select and complete one of the following assignments:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 10-minute or 5- 7 page proposal for a research project demonstrating how developmental psychologists can employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules or one-trial learning techniques (only one) to teach a social skill to intellectually challenged youth.

 

 

 

Address the following in your presentation:

 

 

 

·         Hypotheses

 

·         Methodology

 

·         Population

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 3- to 5-page literature review for a research paper on how developmental psychologists employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques in teaching new tasks. Provide citations from relevant human and animal research to support your review.

 

 

 

Address the following in your assignment:

 

 

 

·         Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development

 

·         Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 10-minute or 5- 7 page proposal for a research project demonstrating how prison staff psychologists can employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules or one-trial learning techniques (only one) to improve inmate compliance.

 

 

 

Address the following in your proposal:

 

 

 

·         Hypotheses

 

·         Methodology

 

·         Population

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 3- to 5–page literature review for a research paper on how prison staff psychologists can teach correctional staff to employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques in teaching anger management skills to inmates. Provide citations from relevant human (and animal, if available) research to support your discussion.

 

 

 

Address the following in your review:

 

 

 

·         Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development

 

·         Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 10-minute proposal for a research project demonstrating how sports psychologists can teach sport coaches to employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, or one-trial learning techniques (choose only one) to improve the technical skills of the athletes they coach. Limit your discussion to a single skill in a single sport. 

 

 

 

Address the following in your proposal:

 

 

 

·         Hypotheses

 

·         Methodology

 

·         Population

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 3- to 5-page literature review for a research paper on how sports psychologists employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques in teaching new technical skills among athletes. Provide citations from relevant human and animal (for example, dressage, steeplechase) research to support your review.

 

 

 

Address the following in your paper:

 

 

 

·         Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development

 

·         Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 10-minute proposal for a research project demonstrating how engineering psychologists can employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules or one-trial learning techniques (choose only one) to teach equipment operators how to operate a new piece of equipment—for example, pilots transitioning from an analog cockpit to a digital cockpit.

 

 

 

Address the following in your proposal:

 

 

 

·         Hypotheses

 

·         Methodology

 

·         Population

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prepare a 3- to 5–page literature review for a research paper on how engineering psychologists employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques in designing the transition from one situation to a new one—for example, production assemblers learning to assemble a new computer that is similar to the previous model but has subtle but important differences. Provide citations from relevant human and animal research to support your assertions.

 

 

 

Address the following in your paper:

 

 

 

·         Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development.

 

·         Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts
