Option 1: Environmental and Evolutionary Psychology Presentation (Not a Powerpoint)

Prepare a 5- 7 page written proposal for a research project demonstrating how developmental psychologists can employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules or one-trial learning techniques (only one) to teach a social skill to intellectually challenged youth. Make sure to define the concept being used.

Address the following in your presentation:

· Hypotheses

· Methodology

· Population

Option 2: Environmental and Evolutionary Psychology Literature Review

Prepare a 3- to 5-page literature review for a research paper on how developmental psychologists employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques in teaching new tasks. Include information with citations from relevant human and animal research to support your review.

Address the following in your assignment:

· Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development. Make sure to define each of the concepts in your explanation.

· Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts

Option 3: Forensic Psychology Proposal

Prepare a 5- 7 page written proposal for a research project demonstrating how prison staff psychologists can employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules or one-trial learning techniques (only one) to improve inmate compliance. Make sure you define the concept being used.

Address the following in your proposal:

· Hypotheses

· Methodology

· Population

Option 4: Forensic Psychology Literature Review

Prepare a 3- to 5-page literature review for a research paper on how prison staff psychologists can teach correctional staff to employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques in teaching anger management skills to inmates. (Make sure to define each of the concepts.) Provide information, including citations, from relevant human (and animal, if available) research to support your discussion.

Address the following in your review:

· Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development

· Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts

Option 5: Health and Sports Psychology Proposal

Prepare a 5-7 page written proposal for a research project demonstrating how sports psychologists can teach sport coaches to employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, or one-trial learning techniques (choose only one) to improve the technical skills of the athletes they coach. Make sure to define the concept you use. Limit your discussion to a single skill in a single sport.

Address the following in your proposal:

· Hypotheses

· Methodology

· Population

Option 6: Health and Sports Psychology Literature Review

Prepare a 3- to 5-page literature review for a research paper on how sports psychologists employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques in teaching new technical skills among athletes. Make sure to define these concepts. Provide citations from relevant human and animal (for example, dressage, steeplechase) research to support your review.

Address the following in your paper:

· Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development

· Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts

Option 7: Industrial/Organizational Psychology Proposal

Prepare a 5-7 page written proposal for a research project demonstrating how engineering psychologists can employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules or one-trial learning techniques (choose only one) to teach equipment operators how to operate a new piece of equipment—for example, pilots transitioning from an analog cockpit to a digital cockpit. Make sure to define the concept being used.

Address the following in your proposal:

· Hypotheses

· Methodology

· Population

Option 8: Industrial/Organizational Psychology Literature Review

Prepare a 3- to 5-page literature review for a research paper on how engineering psychologists employ shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques in designing the transition from one situation to a new one—for example, production assemblers learning to assemble a new computer that is similar to the previous model but has subtle but important differences. Make sure to define the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules, and one-trial learning techniques. Provide citations from relevant human and animal research to support your assertions.

Address the following in your paper:

· Theoretical or construct basis for the concepts of shaping and chaining, reinforcement schedules and one-trial learning techniques, including historical development.

· Current understanding of effective application of these learning concepts
