...Behaviorism Kevin Tolbert ECE 430 Pilar Carroll June 16, 2012 Kevin L Tolbert 1234 Runway Dr (229)339-1440 ktmoney@gmail .com June 18, 2012 John Brown Daycare Director Miss Daisy Darlings 123 Blue Devil Way Tifton, GA 31794 Mr. John Brown, My name is Kevin Tolbert and I am a recent graduate at Ashford University. I hold a BA in early childhood education and graduated at the top of my class. I understand the importance of having a good education and would like to reach out to the kids of the future to help them understand the importance as well. I have a great passion for teaching and helping kids. I have three kids of my own, so I would say that I have experience in that field. I believe as adults we should take a great interest in educating our children as much as possible. We need to give our children every opportunity possible to achieve in education and in life. I am a hard working and determined individual who feels that I am the right man for the job. If I am hired I promise you that you won’t regret it; all I ask for is an opportunity. I thank you in advance. Sincerely, Kevin L. Tolbert All kids are different. One thing I have learned is that kids mimic things they see others do. For example, have you ever told your child to never say curse words but they listen to you saying them all the time? Next, you get that dreaded call from your child’s school saying your child has been saying curse words. This happens all the time with...

...Here is the main difference and main similarity between these two schools of thought: Difference: Behavorism only cares about behavior of the subject and doesn't care about mental processes (the mind is considered an impenetrable black box). The psychodynamic approach looks at things happening in the mind only (usually unconscious elements therein). Similarity: Both believe that current behavior is determined by past experiences. Here, the psychodynamic approach believes that what happened to you in the past has been "locked away" somewhere in the abyss of your mind, but influential nonetheless. Behaviorism believes that you act the way you do from past experiences through conditional learning. This is a good starting point. There are many other similarities and differences between these two schools of thought. A good place to look would be in a book on the history of systems in psychology. Basically the psychodynamic approach is the opposite of behaviorism. Behaviorism = a psychological approach which states that behavior can be explained scientifically, and that you don't have to explain it through an internal, mental approach. The behaviorists suggest that psychology is a science of behavior, not a science of mind. The sources of an individual's behavior is external, in the environment, not internal. Psychodynamic approach = studies the relationship between the mind, personality and psychism of the individual, and they consider that a person's behavior is...

...Cognitive Psychology By Kelli Halford PSY/360 April 30, 2012 Bonnie Johnson Introduction Cognitive psychology is commonly compared to behaviorism. This is because of the contrast of the perspectives (Willingham, 2007). Still behaviorism does not address the human mental processes .cognitive psychology tries to make a description of these characteristic of humankind. Another perspective in psychology is the cognitive psychology's status that is based in experiments, and the scientific method (Willingham, 2007). Cognitive psychology’s objective is to find out how humans thoughts can create a reaction (Eysenck, 2004, Willingham, 2007). Defining Cognitive Psychology Cognitive Psychology is a psychological view that addresses mental processes. This includes thinking, remembering, and problem solving. It also involves perceiving, speaking, and believing. This form of psychology seeks to find the purpose of behavior by characteristics that a human cannot see (Cacioppo, 2002). This implicates the human brain function, and structure (Willingham, 2007). Four Key Milestones There are four vital developments in cognitive psychology. These are known as neuroscience, artificial intelligence, the fall of behaviorism, and the information process. These key milestones played a crucial role in cognitive psychology. First is the study of the human mind through abstract concepts to show definite links among brain structure, and function. This is better known as neuroscience (Willingham...

...IMC Exam 1. Imagine that ORANA wishes to enter a new national market. Explain what considerations ORANA should have, when choosing between, for example, Peru or New Zealand. Entering a new market is an important decision, so ORANA has to consider many aspects carefully before making the decision on which country to enter. According to the Market-based view a company which wishes to enter a new market has to consider market conditions of the nation. The theory states that the competitive advantage comes from the market itself and the external environment of the firm. The company has to find the market from where it can gain competitive advantage. For deciding on which market to enter, Porter five forces, as a framework for industry analysis can be a great help. This framework is very useful when it comes to business strategy development. Porter says that the nature and degree of competition depends on these five forces: threat of new entrants, bargaining power of customers, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of substitute products or services and the intensity of competitive rivalry (Porter, 1979). To enter into a new market, ORANA has to be aware of the current market situation and the state of the competition. The Danish manufacturer has to make a research on these five forces and get to know the more they can about the state of the competition. To get the proper information they have to make market research, going to the field or find a partner from Peru and New...
