Your classmate is trying to stop playing video games every night and instead set up a habit of studying for PSY 111 every day so that they can do better on the rest of the tests in the class. Knowing you are an excellent student, they ask you for your help in coming up with a good strategy for developing good study habits.
Using what we’ve learned about classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning, help your classmate develop a plan to study consistently. Your plan should include descriptions and definitions for these four components:
One classical conditioning pairing, to help them feel positively about studying.
One reinforcement contingency (either positive or negative) to promote studying.
One punishment contingency (either positive or negative) to reduce the amount of video games your classmate plays.
One observational learning strategy to help your classmate study.
Your explanation should be succinct; I am expecting 3-5 pages of double-spaced size 12 font. I don’t expect you to need any resources outside the course textbook and my lecture notes, but if you use them you must provide a citation for the sources (let me know if you’re unsure how to create these citations, and I’ll be more than happy to help you out).
