8. Sigmund Freud:The Unconscious Mind
In this model the conscious mind (everything we are aware of) is seen as the tip of the iceberg, with the unconscious mind a repository of a ‘cauldron’ of primitive wishes and impulse kept at bay and mediated by the preconscious area.
However, Freud found that some events and desires were often too frightening or painful for his patients to acknowledge. Freud believed such information was locked away in a region he called the unconscious mind. This happens through the process of repression.
Sigmund Freud emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind, and a primary assumption of Freudian theory is that the unconscious mind governs behavior to a greater degree than people suspect. Indeed, the goal of psychoanalysis is to make the unconscious conscious.

9. Freud believed that children are born with a libido – a sexual (pleasure) urge. There are a number of stages of childhood, during which the child seeks pleasure from a different ‘object’.

11. B.F. Skinner

13. Skinner: Operant Conditioning
Stimulus
Response
Reinforcement

14. Principles: Reinforcement
A Consequence That Strengthens a Behavior
Repeat: Reinforcement Strengthens a Behavior
If the Frequency of a Behavior Increases After a Consequence, the Consequence is a Reinforcer
There Are Several Types of Reinforcers

15. Principles: Reinforcers
Primary and Secondary
Positive and Negative
Free and Contingent (Premack Principle)
Intrinsic and Extrinsic
Continuous and Intermittent (Schedules)

16. Principles: Punishment
A Consequence That Weakens a Behavior
Repeat: Punishment Weakens a Behavior
If the Frequency of a Behavior Decreases After a Consequence, the Consequence is a Punisher
There Are Several Types of Punishers

17. Principles: Punishers
Presentation and Removal
Time Out
Effectiveness of Punishment

19. Can You Distinguish Between the Different Types of Behavioral Consequences?
Positive Reinforcement
Negative Reinforcement
Punishment

20. Principles: Shaping Reinforcing Approaching Final Behavior
Breaking Task into Parts
Using in Classroom

21. Principles: Extinction
Behavior That Is Not Reinforced Will Weaken
Extinction Burst
Considerations In Classroom Management

22. Social Learning Theory: Bandura
Modeling
Phases of Observational Learning

24. Behavioral Principles in the Classroom
Avoid Overjustification Effect - Zimbardo
Guidelines on the use of Rewards - Deci
Give Rewards to Inform
Rewards Should Not Be Used to Manipulate
Reward for Academic Performance
Reward Incentives Should Be Inconspicuous
