Animal+training+activity

Today in class you will be creating a manual for how to train an animal how to complete a task. This assignment is due by the end of class, turned in to the folder with the sub. DO NOT EMAIL IT TO ME or share it with me.

Your manual will include ** at least five ** of the following terms related to classical conditioning, honors, then try operant! all must be used correctly!:

classical conditioning (cc) -the learned pairing of an action with a stimulus operant conditioning (OC) -modifying behavior by rewarding or punishing behavior in order to shape a particular outcome. unconditioned response (CC) -an action/behavior that is not yet trained. conditioned response (CC) -an action/behavior that is now owned/displayed/mastered. unconditioned stimulus (CC) -something that will eventually be connected with a reaction/response. conditioned stimulus (CC) -something that is connected to a reaction. Like you know that the bell means to change classes. stimulus generalization (either) - all input (sound, taste, whatever) means the same thing. ex: all bells mean run outside and scream fire higher-order conditioning (either) - primary reinforcers (OC) -something you don't have to learn to love or hate. base biological needs. secondary reinforcers (OC) - something that you learned to love or hate negative reinforcement (OC) -removing a stimulus. ex: no homework, taking away cellphone. positive reinforcement (OC) -introducing a stimulus. ex: spanking, a cupcake. discriminative stimulus (either) - reinforcement schedule (OC) -how often a reinforcement is introduced. extinction (either) -forgetting spontaneous recovery (either) -remembering intermittent reinforcement schedule (OC) -offering positive or negative stimulus occasionally constant reinforcement schedule (OC) -every time the desired action is performed, a positive or negative stimulus is presented.

You may write out your manual in bullet point form, you must however include a parenthesis (like this) around the above vocabulary terms when you use them. Please write up all the steps involved clearly.

Just pick an animal that interests you or pick your fave number and count down to it:

Teaching a giraffe how to pick apples. Teaching a puppy not to pee inside, but rather outside. Teaching a cat to sleep on the floor, not on the couch. Teaching a chimpanzee to open a door with a knob. Teaching a pig to climb stairs. Teaching a rat to push a doorbell. Teaching a hamster to go through the maze. Teaching a dolphin to jump through a hoop. Teaching a sea lion to balance a ball on his nose. Teaching a dog to take off a person’s socks. Teaching a mouse to go down a hole. Teaching a dolphin to nod its head up and down. Teaching a horse to run in a circle without a lead. Teaching a sheep to go through a gate. Teaching a cow to push through a swinging open gate.

You watched the video last week for hw and had a lesson over the last few days in class where you took notes, you have two sets of ppts on the home page, and a textbook at the top of the website, here is a link for the learning chapter if you want to read it [|Here.]. If you are confused, please consult one of them rather than just give up. You can do this!!!!!
