Assignment: Causes of Behaviorism theory

Describe how one or more of these areas may be

connected to your future career goals.

Major Topics (1 to 2 pages for each major topic)
Communicate  the extent to which the six major topics of learning and cognition  affect related sub-topics by synthesizing the course learning principles  and/or theories. Consider how these sub-topics may be related to your  future career goals. For instance, if you intend to become an applied  behavior analyst, behaviorism and related technique for learning may be  directly connected to your future role. For each major topic, apply  basic research methods and skeptical inquiry to explain the theoretical  perspectives and empirical research that substantiate the relationship  between the topic and at least two related sub-topics. In your review,  consider how these topic and sub-topics are directly connected to  evaluations and interventions in psychology practice in various fields.  Focus on the areas most related to your future area of practice, paying  particular attention to how theories are examined in research studies.  The following are some sub-topics to consider:

• Comprehension
• Operant and classical conditioning
• Behaviorism
• Social learning theory
• Problem solving
• Memory development/retention
• Lifelong learning
• Individual and group learning
• Organizational learning
• Mentorship
• Apprenticeship models of learning
• Effects of demographic differences (e.g., gender, socioeconomics, religious affiliation, race) on learning

Although creative liberties are encouraged, all information  incorporated should be supported and professionally presented through  the consistent application of ethical principles and adherence to  professional standards of learning and cognition psychology as applied  to the chosen audience.
