How could Skinner's radical behaviorism explain Maria's change in parenting style to encourage cooperation by her children? How does the focus of Skinner's theory differ from that of Kelly's?
On May 09, 2024
Behaviorism can be used to explain Maria's change in parenting style through discussion of reinforcements and punishments.Maria found that her requests were ignored which was punishing.That behavior was therefore eliminated.When she made her requests into games, they were obeyed, which was rewarding and therefore encouraged that behavior.Skinner's theory differs from Kelly's in that Kelly's is much more cognitive in nature than Skinner's.Both theories, however, include the possibility of behavior being influenced by the environment: Skinner through his concepts of reinforcement and punishment; Kelly through his experience corollary.

In the context of development, discuss the adaptability of the human brain.
On May 08, 2024
Answers will vary. The great adaptability of the brain appears to be a double-edged sword. Adaptability allows us to develop different patterns of neural connections to meet the demands of different environments, but lack of stimulation-especially during critical early periods of development-can impair adaptability. The brain is also affected by experience. Infants actually have more connections among neurons than adults do. Connections that are activated by experience survive; others do not.
