Next search for another website about the premack principle and read more about it. Copy and paste that link at the bottom of your post.

Briefly discuss the Premack Principle and how you might be able to incorporate it into your behavioral change project.

Finance & Behavior.
Poke around and find something interesting to you and write about it from a behavioral perspective.

Dog Training.

Education.



In the video above Mitra shows us that kids can learn in ways different from our traditional education. He finds children learn and self organize when they are given a question. My question is how can we take the information from this video (and possibly from what we are learning in class) and make changes within our existing educational system to prepare for the future?

Online Class Only Assignment (Due each Friday)

| 53 Comments
This assignment is for the On-line class only and is due each Friday. It is worth 10 points.
After you have read the sections for each week you are asked to submit the responses to the "boxed" in portion of the readings. We will ask that you respond to each question in full and keep in mind the grading rubric for the 10 point assignments. 

An example of a "boxed" portion in Section 1.1 asks "How do you feel about manipulating someone else? Is this a good thing or bad thing?" For each box in the readings we ask that you include the question(s) and then your detailed response and please keep it organized so we can read it fairly easy. If there is more than one question be sure to answer each question fully. Don't worry if you don't get it perfect the first time as we will shape your behavior as we go.

When you submit the assignment please use the following email address: bmod.uni@gmail.com

This way our TA can access it and give you feedback.

Let us know if you have any questions.
