he rejected mentalism, he did not believe in the supernatural. he believed in determinism and not free will (all behavior is determined by prior conditioning. He also believed in reductionism, this is the principle of breaking down more complex phenomenon into simpler, more elemental forms. The goal of scientific psy this equals into prediciton and control of future behavior.

Suppose you're using an operant conditioning approach to teach someone how to use a bow and arrow. this operant conditioning approach is called?

Operant conditioning, popularized in psychology by B. F. Skinner, differs from classical Pavlovian conditioning by rewarding certain behavior intermittently. Skinner found that while Pavlov rewarded desired behavior every time, intermettent reward actually generated conditioning that appeared sooner and decayed more slowly than the every time approach. Skinner, a behaviorist, was interested only in the behavior itself and didn't believe there was anything more complex behind these differences. His findings, however, have been used in a variety of settings like the gambling casino slot machine process of generating intermittent small wins to keep the player involved. I doubt that one could create teaching approach to something like archery based on operant conditioning. However, shaping might also be somewhat low level for human archery given a person's ability to mentally construct successful performance and shape his own behavior without external rewards provided by a handler. Behaviorists like Skinner didn't believe that differences between animals and humans existed and would thus probably use shaping, but most researchers accept that humans have higher processes that allows them to learn without conditioning (although we are susceptible to these low level approaches in certain settings.)


What is the grading scale for grades 6th grade for school?

The grading scale for 6th grade can vary between schools and districts, but it is commonly based on a percentage system where A is 90-100%, B is 80-89%, C is 70-79%, D is 60-69%, and F is below 60%. Some schools may also use a grading scale with +/- modifiers. It's best to check with your child's specific school for their grading scale.
