Introduction to Psychology

Part A

For Part A of this assignment, you will apply the principles of operant conditioning to modify an existing behavior. Target a behavior to be modified, either an undesirable behavior that you would like to eliminate or a desirable behavior that you would like to strengthen.

Generate a plausible explanation for why the problem exists.

Describe one (1) reason why you want to change the behavior and one (1) benefit the change will bring.

Carefully design a program for modifying the behavior, making sure to include all relevant conditioning principles incorporated within your plan (which might include the use of positive and negative reinforcers, punishment, shaping, schedules of reinforcement, modeling, extinction, stimulus discrimination or generalization, primary and secondary reinforcers, and so on.) Your plan should include three (3) steps.

Part B

Design a series of test items that would indicate the different intelligences according to Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. Provide one (1) original example of how you would test each of the eight (8) different intelligences.

Explanation / Answer

Part-A)

The principle of operant stated us the fact of changing in the environmental event which are related to the person behaviour. but according to the psycological terms if we want to modify any of our behaviour than i would like to change the behaviour of less talking to the others. as i am a person and i have no interest to chat with others and i think that i would be more comfort to the situation. this make us feel good initially but later on it seem to be quite boring to live a happy life. rather to the fact that human is a social animal and he will be alive when he nevigate thought and share thoughts with others.

But now I want to modify my behaviour in way of elimination of my quiteness. it become very important to talk with others. if we don't talk we can socialize ourselves and hence can't be able to make friends. thus it is important to talk and introduce yourself. in psyco term it describe us the situation of such person in a way that the person is in a suffering and lost alone in his own world. this should be implimented only when we start talking and atlast without a lot effort we will start to spread our views. the thing which we do first is to delete our egos.

Part-B)

It refers to the concept of multiple intelligence in a person in which it stated that the multiple intelligence should not be dominated by a single ability of a person. according to gardener he postulated the eight abilities for which we can take a series of test- as follow-

1) Musical-Rhythmic and Harmonic- it is based on the intelligence and abilty of a person to understand the things in a rhythmics order and a concept of harmonic oscillations. to take this test we can either try to produce or compose musics or work in a rhythmics orders.

2) Visual-Spatial- in this test if we have a strong mental ability then only we pass this test. it stated the concept of see or visualize things by our mind power. this required a lot odf effort.

3) Verbal-Linguistic- in this if a person have a high verbal linguistics intelligence then he would easily play with words and languages to make the diversion of people mind according to his way. an anchor or salesman play the same ability to show this intelligence.

4) Logical-Mathametical- in this a person will justify the reality and facts in a logical orders. if he is great in logics he will definetly intelligent in solve maths problems in a logical fashion. if we pass this test of intelligence then we have logical intelligence in ourselves.

5) Bodily-Kinesthetics- it state that if a person is good in demonstrating the body language and posture then he can easily make understand to others by just the help of facial expressions as well as body language. it is a type of kinesthetics intelligence.

6) Interpersonal- it is the ability of a person to communicate efficiently with the other. suppose the case of mutual talking. this make us understand the fact of intelligence in such a way that how properly we can communicate and make understand individually between two people. example- telephone communication

7) Intrapersonal- it is a type of interior intelligence of our body. in this we is our sense to response our surrounding. whatever we think about the surrounding we think and make decision according by talkinf in our mind. this is a normal symbol of healthy mind and intelligence.

8) Naturalistics- it is the ability in which we are able to justify from one category to another or from one classifications to others. such as we can defined and unerstand the classifications in the evolutionary past of human as hunter, gatherers and farmers.
