Psychology Chapter 8 Test outline

Blk A. Neff.

Be sure you understand the following in detail:

Classical Conditioning : UCS, UCR, CS, and CR as well as  EXTINCTION and GENERALIZATION.  It's a good idea to know what Discrimination is too.

What you would do if you want your child to do their homework? ( What reinforcers you would use? why?)

*TIPS*

Know who created observant learning -> Albert Bandura.
What was Pavlov's experiment?
And what kind if learning did B.F. Skinner created?

What is the Law of Effect?
What is Partial Scheduling?


And defiantly understand the difference between punishment and negative reinforcement/ (you can obtain this information in the textbook.)

Of course there are other things i may not remember from the test. Just remember the three main topic of this unit : Classical Conditioning, Observation Learning and Operant Conditioning

Socials Water Script

Josephine: ( Dancing with umbrella and mug) I am singing in the rain, just singing in the rain. What a... ( Sees Joan) Oh... Oh Hi

Joan: Uhh....what are you doing? ( Points to the cup in Josephine's hand)

Josephine: Oh this? ( Holds up cup) I am collecting water because my taps aren't working (Sigh) You know.... I need water for my cooking, my laundry, my sink, my toilet .... and to drink! (Sigh)

Joan: Wait... ( In shock) you are going to USE AND DRINK this rain water?!

Josephine: Well YEAH! ( rolls eyes) what else can I do? Its not like I live near the ocean or something...

Joan: (Facepalm) Let's have the professors come and explain this to you... (Sigh)

-Enters Archy and Roland-

Archy: So lets learn some facts about water!

-Archy explains basic facts on water from power point-

-Joan and Josephine should be standing and nodding their heads as Archy goes through each point, acting as if you are comprehending and is fascinated in what he is saying-

Roland: rainwater contains pollutants, soil, plant parts,

insect parts, bacteria, algae, and sometimes radioactive

materials that the rain/snow has washed out of the air.

Joan: (Faces Josephine) You see? That is why you can't drink rain water!\

Josephine: Oh EWWW!!! It's polluted water? But how does water get polluted?

-*Roland explains why and continues on other problems and why it is a problem*-

Roland: Water can get polluted by acid deposition from the air, traffic that are spread through rivers and pollutants that enter the water through groundwater.

( Roland explains problem about polluted waters and pauses)

-*When Roland is done, Josephine will explain the solutions*-

Josephine: OH! Well with all these problems, maybe there are some ways to fix them! Like...... ( talks about the facts on power point)

Otherwise please print out this script and either practice your parts or write out your parts if you are explaining the power point. thank you.

Socials ( Solution)

::SOLUTIONS::

•  In 1970, United States created the Clean Water Act in hopes to have less pollution in water, though it worked in the beginning the pollution level today is still about the same. 

• By reducing the amount of fresh water we use. Example) Using less water in toilets , or reduce the amount of irrigation. 
•  Countries can try to reduce pollution in water, by enforcing laws that will prevent further pollution

• Encourage effective and smart agriculture practices!

-by using techniques such as bio dynamic farming, we can reduce polluted runoffs into streams
- we could ban massive chicken raising operations which would also reduce polluted runoffs from entering streams

•  Do smart gardening!

- by not using fertilizers you buy at stores you'll help reduce the chemically polluted runoffs from entering into streams (Also it will save you money because your soil isn't slow degrading due to the fertilizers)

• Walk more, and drive less

- by driving less, less nitrogen is emitted into the air thus less polluted air would go through condensation and pollute the aquifers.

• Have a better "Flush" (Sewage) System!

-  We can reduce the amount of water used in flushing toliets
- In Maryland, they have a "flush tax" which is $3 added onto their sewage bill the money is used to build more efficient sewage systems.
- ELIMINATE STRAIGHT PIPES! There are still places where they have outflow pipes that leads to the nearest creek!
