15 Aug Intro to Developmental Theories
There are many developmental and learning theories (Freud, Erikson, Piaget, etc) that attempt to explain how we develop over the years. Taking a deep dive into these theorists – please explain the similarities and differences between them. Be sure to discuss each’s major contributions to the field of human growth and development. About a page should suffice!
First, offer an explanation on what distinguishes Erikson’s theory of how personality is developed from Freud’s theory.
After viewing Peggy Andover’s TedTalk, in your own words, explain the difference between Classical and Operant Conditioning.
View examples of Operant Conditioning as seen in the Big Bang Theory.
Based on what you know, 2-3 paragraphs describe a personal experience in which you’ve witnessed Operant Conditioning. Be sure to identify which type of conditioning was used, and how you came to that conclusion.
Now, consider classical conditioning as presented in your reading. Think of an original example and identify the unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, and conditioned response in this example. Be sure to be specific and identify how you came to that conclusion.
