Step 1: For this exercise, select ONE of the three scenarios below that you will use to demonstrate your understanding of learning principles: Ian You are a social worker visiting a family where you recently placed Ian, a 6-year-old little boy, into a loving home where he will be adopted. Ian's new parents are having difficulty getting him to play nicely with his new 6-year-old sibling in the home. Ian has a stuffed bird that he carries with him everywhere he goes.

Step 2: For this activity, you will write out a letter to the parents of Ian, the business owner, or yourself (or someone else) by explaining the principles of Skinner's Operant Conditioning techniques to change behavior. In your response, you must include the following: Provide a general overview of operant conditioning. Explain how operant conditioning is used to strengthen or weaken behaviors. Explain how positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, and negative punishment are used and give examples of how each can change behavior. Explain how primary and secondary reinforcers are used to reinforce desired behavior. Explain how shaping can be used in this situation and offer an example. Suggest possible primary and secondary reinforcers that could be used and ex
