Week 3 LTI

1. What is the "stimulus response" theory of behavior?
Level: 2
The stimulus response theory is when a student is given a stimulus they respond to that stimuli in a particular way.  For example when the lights are turned off in the class room the students become quiet, the stimulus if the lights going off and the response is the students being quiet.

2. Using the four different learning theories, compose a general definition of the "cohesive picture of learning" as described in kruse's article?
Level: 2
It is important that we take into consideration the different experiences that each and every one of the students bring to table. As teachers is is important to not cater towards are students learning preferences, in fact we should realize that they are that way because of who they are. We should try to expose them to other ways of learning to make them a more rounded learner.  Also that the process that the students go through is all the same, just how they approach it is different based on there backgrounds and experiences.

3. Predict what a one-year-old child might do when he discovers a stuffed teddy bear plays his favorite song when you squeeze the paw?
Level: 5
In my opinion I don't think that they will make any real connection that if you squeeze the paw then the bear will play a song. I think that they will just see the bear and then hear the music, and make the connection that the bear will sing a song but that is it.
