Critical Reflection Paper

In this paper you will make an argument to either
support or refute the debate statement. (Debate Statement: All human behaviour is a result of a combination of genes and the environment. Is it reasonable (logical and/or supported by evidence) to consider talent innate, but emphasize the many environmental influences on intelligence?)

You don’t need to respond according to your group for this paper but you are expected to include some information from both sides of the argument. This paper does not need to include outside sources beyond lecture material, discussion material, and assigned readings. These reflection papers will be graded based on how well you have considered the evidence provided to you in class and the readings, whether you have thoroughly considered both sides of the argument, and how convincingly you can make an argument supporting one view.

Classical conditioning

Classical conditioning happens more often than we may think because of implicit learning. Think about a reaction that you have when your phone beeps after you receive a message. Do you feel an urge to check your phone? This is classical conditioning. The beep of the phone alone does not naturally produce the behavior of checking your phone, but because you have learned to associate that beep with an incoming message, you know that you should check your phone.

 

Imagine that your team has been asked to present to a group of high school students on how technology can affect behavior through classical conditioning in different aspects of life.

 

NOTE: Create a 4 slide (not counting the title and reference slides) Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that illustrates the process of classical conditioning. Ensure you:

Briefly explain the process of classical conditioning.
Create a situational example that illustrates how technology can affect behavior through classical conditioning.
Identify the US, UR, CS, and CR in the example.
Include higher order conditioning, sensory preconditioning, and US revaluation, as well as explanations of each to your examples.

Discussion

School counseling intern Juan Torres is a 25-year-old Puerto Rican man who is interning at a predominantly White high school. His site supervisor, Mrs. Lindt, has contacted his university supervisor and professor Dr. Cottone with concerns. When Dr. Cottone asked Mrs. Lindt about her specific concerns, she seemed vague in her description. Dr. Cottone asked whether Juan was showing up for the internship on time, as well as was he carrying out his direct and indirect hours at the high school. Mrs. Lindt responded that Juan arrived on time for the internship, conducted himself appropriately, and participated actively in his internship. Dr. Cottone went on to inquire if the counselees had any concerns and/or issues, and Mrs. Lindt replied, “No.” Dr. Cottone’s last question was related to Juan’s attire and Mrs. Lindt replied that he is always dressed appropriately. She simply stated that she was “uncomfortable” with Juan being there.

Referring to the ACA Code of Ethics and the ASCA Ethical Codes for School Counselors, identify what you believe is an ethical dilemma faced by both the site supervisor Mrs. Lindt, and the university supervisor and professor, Dr. Cottone.
