 * Step 1a.** finish your imaginary animal training assignment from Thursday. This is imp not only for the 15pts, but for the practice.

**Step 1b.** Pick a partner or lone wolf it. No groups of 3 or more.

**Step 1c.** Find a youtube clip of an animal doing a trick, something they were trained to do. Not an accident or something unintentional, but a conditioned learned skill; keep it school appropriate (if you have to ask, it isn't appropriate).

**Step 2.** With your partner figure out if you would use classical or operant conditioning to replicate the video. Usually you could use either, just one is easier than the other.

**Step 3.** Create a discussion post on this page, title it whatever is going on in your video. (ex: Dog riding bicycle) Then in the first reply, post a link to the video. This way we can all see what you are looking at. You will both post so I know who was partners and who gets the points.

**Step 4.** In the next reply (remember that only one person can post at a time) explain which you picked, classical or operant conditioning and explain precisely why you picked the one you used.

**Step 5.** Explain step by step how you would train your subject. Please include the relevant terminology -listed below- from our unit on learning. **Type these vocab terms in CAPITAL LETTERS so that I can see them.** Make sure that you stuck with either CC or OC and didn't use a combination of both. Doing a combo will require you to redo it. Remember to check the notes or ppt posted this week to check for your accuracy.

**Step 6.** Explain how you will know when your subject has been trained.

Classical Conditioning (use all 6) Neutral Stimulus (NS) Unconditioned Stimulus (US) Unconditioned Response (UR) Conditioned Stimulus (CS) Conditioned Response (CR)

OR

Operant Conditioning (explain each of the vocab terms as you use whichever ones you use)

Shaping Primary Reinforcer Positive Reinforcement Negative Reinforcement Reinforcement Schedule Continuous Reinforcement Intermittent Reinforcement

This assignment is worth 40 points. The imaginary animal training is worth 15. Both are due by Tuesday and you will have help in class on M to finish this one.
