I’m working on a psychology multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
In a paragraph each, describe the following theories: Ivan Pavlov and classical conditioning, B. F. Skinner and operant conditioning, and Albert Bandura and social learning theory.
2. For each learning theory, describe the steps or process you would use to teach a child the following things:
a. Using classical conditioning to teach a child not to touch a hot stove
b. Using operant conditioning to teach potty training
c. Using social learning theory to teach a child to show good manners at the dinner table
Part 2 (6 points)
Your child has developed a fear of sleeping in the dark. Using some of the principles of learning theory:
1. Explain how this fear may have developed.
2. Outline a plan to extinguish this fear so your child can sleep soundly.
