Overview:
Ivan Pavlov and B. F. Skinner each developed theories to address how animals and people learn.
For this assignment, you are tasked with creating your own unique visual representation that depicts
a comparison of these two theories – Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning.
By the Friday deadline, share your work with the class in the Unit 3 Assignment Forum. By the
Sunday deadline, review your classmates’ work and provide at least one reply.
Instructions:
You can choose how you would like to create your visual representation of these two theories –
perhaps by making a simple graph or chart in a Word document, creating a PowerPoint slide, or using
an infographic. Whichever way you decide to create it, your visual representation must include the
following:
• Key Concepts: Identify and briefly describe the key concepts of both theories.
• Defining Differences: Identify what most significantly differentiates this theory from the other
learning theories discussed in this unit.
• Application to Classroom: Provide three (3) brief examples for each theory of how it might
be used in a classroom setting [a total of six (6) examples in all].
Requirements:
• Provide at least one (1) peer response that elaborates on your classmate’s ideas with further
comment or observation, presents a relevant new idea or viewpoint for consideration, and
raises a question, or politely offers an alternative perspective.
• Include at least two (2) reference citations in correct APA style.
• Post the visual representation and your response to the Assignment Forum by the due dates
listed above.
