"Henson says the $30 DVD was accidentally packed and taken when the family moved. After an overdue notice and bill were not returned, the city sent Henson two court summons, which he did not receive because they were mailed to the family's former address. After Henson failed to respond to the second summons, authorities issued an arrest warrant"

"It may sound like a recipe for certain failure, but that's how a handful of restaurants around the world operate, including Denver, Colorado's So All May Eat (SAME) Café . At the Denver eatery, wealthy diners rub elbows with the homeless, all taking the time to enjoy the café's delicious organic cuisine. Raise money for this idea and other ideas."

How does this tie into the concepts raised with Walden Two?
"In recent years, public schools have been disciplining students for the trouble they get into away from campus. Many schools suspend or expel students who are involved in any kind of violence. And some districts have expanded their involvement to misdeeds surrounding the things kids say online or drug arrests. "

"Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim said that now travelers suspected of being Israeli will not be allowed into the Gulf country even if they arrive on another passport. The Emirates will "deny entry to anyone suspected of having Israeli citizenship," Tamim said. Dual nationality is fairly common in Israel."

How would you describe this in behavioral terms?
"Mealographer is a simple, easy way to track your nutrition Search a database of foods, record what you are eating, set goals, and track your progress."

These are two very short papers that I would like you to read:
http://psych.hanover.edu/classes/Learning/papers/Guthrie%201937.pdf
http://psych.hanover.edu/classes/Learning/papers/Tolman%201938.pdf
After making your mind map for the two articles combined (1 map with both articles on it), respond to the following questions:
1) What did you find interesting about the articles?
2) What were the main points?
3) Why did the authors write the articles?
4) What was the main point about the articles?
5) How does the text and your reader handle the related material?
6) What do think the impact of this articles was / is?
7) How do these articles relate to the other articles we have read so far?
What I would like you to do for this homework is to find some websites of a topic that was covered in the Walden Two readings for this week.
1) Discuss in some detail how your topic relates to behavior analysis (it should also be a topic in the text). Write a paragraph or two on what your text says about this topic.
2) Visit 3 sites that have information about your topic.
3) Organize your topic into a post that integrates the three sites and what else your text might have to say. Please try to incorporate the behavioral terms and concepts we are learning into your writing.
4) Make a list of course related terms you used in this post (this is to help get you focused on using behavioral terms in your regular writings).
5) Provide the 3 URLs
For this homework please read sections 1 to 5 in Walden Two
1) Make a list of the behavioral topics Skinner discusses in Walden Two.
Next visit with your textbook and look up what it has to say about the material you just read.
When you are done:
2) Discuss what you read in the reader. Think about what you learned from the reader. What were the main points the author was trying to make? What were some scenarios he used? What was the most interesting part of the sections? Don't simply answer these questions; these are just some things to ask yourself before you start writing. I am pretty open to what you write about.
3) Discuss what you read in your text about the topics you listed in #1. How did the author of your text book go about addressing the related material? What did you find out about the topics that might have been covered differently covered in Walden Two? What did you find interesting that was presented in the text? How difficult was it to find the related material in the text? Again don't specifically answer these questions, just use them as a way to think about the material. Feel free to experiment with your own style.
4) After you have had a chance to think about the material - what parts do you think you will remember and what parts do you think might fade from memory sooner.
5) Make a list of the terms and terminology you used in this post.
