Discussions
To participate in the following discussions, go to this week's Discussion link in the left navigation.
- Learning Principles
This discussion has two options. Select one of the options and indicate which one you chose in your response.
Option A:
Learning through classical conditioning occurs across the lifespan. It can be associated with pain (like a trip to the dentist), or with pleasure (like the endorphins released in response to exercise). Select one example of learning that can occur through classical conditioning. You cannot select Pavlov’s experiment that is described in your textbook. Clearly describe your learning example, and detail each of the following for the example you selected:- Unconditioned stimulus > Unconditioned Response
- Conditioned Stimulus > Unconditioned Response
- Conditioned Stimulus >Conditioned Response
Option B:
Ten-year-old Billy has started to use foul language in casual conversation just as his mother does. She laughs when Billy uses this language and does not see it as an issue. It is only when Billy gets in trouble and his mother is called to the school that she recognizes there may be a problem.
As Billy’s school teacher, explain and provide examples of how you would help him overcome the use of this foul language through operant conditioning (e.g., you may use positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment).
Lastly, what advice would you give to Billy’s mom about how she might deal with this problem at home? Be sure to explain the role observational learning plays in this behavior, and what his mother could do differently to help him avoid this behavior.
Your initial post must be a minimum of 200 words and utilize at least one scholarly source (e.g., the course textbook, a peer-reviewed article from the Ashford University Library, or a professional web source), cited according to APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates who chose a different learning principle. Discuss the theory they selected. Do you agree with the practical application that was suggested? Share any new insights you gained from reading your peers post. How might you apply these insights to your initial response? - Memory and Language
Review the Linguistic Genius of Babies TED talk and read the New Thinking on Infant Development article from the Ashford University Library.
Dr. Williams has been studying memory and language development. During her research she discovers that infants as young as one month can remember objects presented to them if they reappear within two seconds. Fascinated by this, she continues to explore and discovers that by the time they are four months old, babies can remember objects after five seconds. She is elated at her discovery because she knows it shows the beginning of short-term memory, which is essential in language development.
For this discussion, identify two ideas that parents/caregivers can use to help facilitate language development in children from birth to 24 months. Your post should be formatted as follows:- State the age range you have selected (birth to three months, three to six months, etc.).
- Idea #1: Your first idea should be something that just about any parent could do that does not involve technology or money in any way.
- Idea #2: Your second idea should consider today’s age of technology. Research various sources (computer programs, toys, videos, etc.) that can help children with language development. Identify your selection (including cost) and describe what it does in terms of either strengths and/or weaknesses, in relation to language development.
- Reflecting on what you have read thus far in Weeks One and Two, explain what stage of memory (sensory, short-term, long-term) your ideas best fit with and how they facilitate language.

Applying an Ethical Theory
Please read these assignment instructions before writing your paper, and re-read them often during and after the writing process to make sure that you are fulfilling all of the instructions. Please also utilize the assignment guidance and the outlined model provided.OverviewThe following short essay assignment is designed to help prepare you for an important part of the Final Paper. In this essay, you will do the following:Choose either the same ethical question you formulated and introduced in the Week One Assignment, or a different one based off the list of acceptable topics.Choose either utilitarian or deontological ethical theory to apply to the ethical question.Explain the core principles of that theory.Demonstrate how the principles of the theory support a certain position on that question.Articulate a relevant objection to that position.InstructionsWrite a five-paragraph essay that conforms to the requirements below. The paper must be at least 1,000 words in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. The paragraphs of your essay should conform to the following guidelines:IntroductionThe introduction should clearly state the ethical question under consideration, and define the essential issues. You may build upon the question and introduction you provided in the Week One Assignment; or you may choose a different question, but it must be based off the list of acceptable topics. Your introduction should include a brief remark about the kind of theory you will be using to approach this question. The last sentence of the introduction should briefly summarize the or position on the issue you think is best supported by this theory and succinctly state what the objection will be. Bear in mind that your essay will not be concerned with your own position on this issue, but what someone reasoning along the lines of the chosen theory would conclude; this may or may not be the position you took in the Week One Assignment.Body ParagraphsEach paragraph in the body should start with a topic sentence that clearly identifies the main idea of the paragraph.
Theory explanationExplain the core principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory and the general account of moral reasoning it provides. You must quote from at least one required resource other than your textbook that defends or represents that theory. Refer to the list of acceptable resources.ApplicationDemonstrate how the principles or features of the deontological or utilitarian theory apply to the question under consideration and identify the specific conclusion that results from applying the reasoning characteristic of that kind of approach. Your application should clearly show how the conclusion follows from the main principles and features of the theory as addressed in the previous paragraph. Please see the associated guidance for help in fulfilling this requirement.ObjectionRaise a relevant objection to the argument expressed in your application. An objection articulates a plausible reason why someone might find the argument problematic. This can be a false or unsupported claim or assumption, fallacious reasoning, a deep concern about what the conclusion involves, a demonstration of how the argument supports other conclusions that are unacceptable, etc. You should aim to explain this objection as objectively as possible, (i.e., in a way that would be acceptable to someone who disagrees with the argument from the previous paragraph). Note that this does not necessarily mean that the objection succeeds, or that the conclusion the theory supports is wrong. It may be an obstacle that any adequate defense of the conclusion would have to overcome, and it may be the case that the theory has the resources to overcome that obstacle. Your task here is simply to raise the objection or present the “obstacle.”ConclusionThe conclusion should very briefly summarize the main points of your essay.Resource RequirementsYou must use at least two resources to support your claims.At least one of the resources should be one of the Required or Recommended Resources that represent the theory you have chosen, and must be drawn from the list of acceptable resources available in your online classroom.The other source should pertain to the particular issue you are writing about and should be drawn from the required or recommended readings in the course, or be a scholarly source found in the Ashford Unversity Library.You are encouraged to use additional resources, so long as at least two conform to the requirements above.The textbook does not count toward satisfying the resources requirement.To count toward satisfying the requirement, resources must be cited within the body of your paper and on the reference page and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.If you are unsure about whether a resource fulfills the requirement, or need assistance in finding resources, please contact your instructor.

Cuyahoga Community College American Revolution and Constitutional Era Discussion
In Topics #4 and #5, we looked at the events of the American Revolution and the making of the U.S Constitution. These are crucial to understand how the birth of the United States occurred both militarily breaking away from the British Empire and establishing its constitutional republican government. For Discussion Board #2 about the American Revolution and Constitutional Era, write two (2) posts where you address any of the following three questions or reply to another student. Your two posts may be answering two of the three questions OR one post that answers one of the three questions and then a reply to another student. Therefore, after your initial post answering one of the three questions, you choose what you want for your second required post - answer to another question or reply to a student. Although you may write these posts with your own knowledge, your posts will be more enriching after watching the online lectures on the American Revolution and Constitutional Era. Here are the questions you can address:Provide your own explanation why the American patriots defeated the British imperial army. The online lectures covered reasons based on George Washington’s military strategy, both sides’ military advantages and disadvantages, and unfortunate circumstances for the British. By reinforcing these explanations from the online lectures or coming up with your own views, offer a well-thought out argument why you believe the Americans, pulling off one of the most unlikely victories in modern times, military defeated the British in the American Revolution. In examining one of the key themes of American history, establishing an experimental modern republic, provide your own explanation why the U.S. Constitution, as the basis for American government, has endured for over 232 years. As explored in the online lectures covering the Constitutional Era, modern written constitutions are usually short-lived and are frequently scrapped for “new and improved” constitutions. What do you believe is the Constitution’s secret to longevity? Checks and balance system? Separation of powers? Principles of shared governance between national and state governments? The language and wording of the Constitution? Amendment process? Much of these suggestions are explored in the online lectures so you may build upon what you learned there or come up with your own ideas.Within the last several years, nothing has gained more debate in our political discourse than the Electoral College. Knowing that the Founding Fathers deliberately created this system to elect the President of the United States, now debate centers upon if the Electoral College should continue in our current time. With impassioned arguments on both sides, many have cited reasons for it to be preserved while others want it abolished. Provide your own opinion on where you stand on the Electoral College – its preservation or eradication in our present time. Make sure you construct a carefully crafted argument for your view. If you need further information about the Electoral College to help formulate your opinion, refer to its coverage in the online lectures or you may simply Google or type into YouTube “reasons for or against the Electoral College” and access numerous articles and videos to show various views to help your thinking. Here are your instructions and criteria for this Discussion Board:You must have two (2) separate posts. Each post is worth five (5) points each for a total of 10 points for Discussion Board #2.Provide insightful and well-reasoned support in your posts. Show serious reflection of thought. Each written post should be between 75-150 words. You may write more, but don't be excessive; don't write less than this word minimum; this word range should be enough to develop your ideas concisely.Remember don't copy and paste material from the internet. Your posts must be your own original writing.Keep in mind that you must post first before seeing other classmates' posts. To begin your post, point and click on Reply and a text box will appear. Then after you have reviewed what you written, then you can click Post Reply. Then you'll be able to read your classmates' posts.Remember to follow the rules of civility and proper academic conduct in your posts, especially since these questions have a political nature. Avoid vulgarity, rudeness, and insensitive language. You may disagree with someone in a reply, but be respectful. And above all else, DO NOT PERSONALLY ATTACK anyone for their views.You may write as many posts as you like, but the maximum points for Discussion Board #2 is 10 points.
