Discuss which psychosexual stage you are in, according to Freud, which psychosocial stage you are in, according to Erikson, which cognitive stage you are in, according to Piaget, and which moral stage you are in, according to Kohlberg. How are those stages going for you? What is your insight into any problems or successes you may be having at this stage in your development? Paper #1 Part 2: Write a 2 page paper describing how you would use Operant Conditioning to help teach a child good manners and prosocial behaviors (ie, say please and thank you, be nice, share, wait your turn, don t intentionally hurt others, etc.) If you want a good grade you must use the terms of Operant Conditioning correctly: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, shaping, temporal contiguity, and the Social Learning Term modeling. Your grade will suffer if you do NOT explain and use these terms. Use your text reading, videos, flashcards and any other resources on MyPsychLab to help explain these terms well. Use your own analytical skills and what you are learning in Psych 14. Email the paper to lindahurkmans@sbcglobal.net Send both parts of your paper together pasted into the body of your email.

My Virtual Life My Virtual Life is a fascinating and helpful simulation you can use while you have access to MyDevelopmentLab in Psych 14. The first simulation allows you to raise a child from birth to age 18 and monitor the effects of your parenting decisions over time. In the second simulation, you will make first person decisions and see the impact of those decisions on your simulated future self over time. You are not required to use this simulation, nor will you get points towards your Psych 14 grade. However, if you have time and wish to go deeper into the Developmental Psych. course, I encourage you to use it. COURSE POLICIES Those discovered to be cheating (unauthorized collaboration, plagiarizing on papers, etc.) will be given an F grade for the course and may be reported to college authorities for expulsion. Students, please be responsible for completing your work according to the dates below. My advice to any distant learner is to try not to let the work pile up and then feel overwhelmed. Just take it day by day.
