...racing, and stomach in a knot; I’ve lied before, but when caught lying this is how my body reacts. When feelings of guilt and remorse take over I know I’ve learned my lesson. I’ve also been lied to before and feelings of anger and betrayal are quick to respond. Knowing how I feel when caught lying and how I feel when lied to, one major question arises; why lie? Like a small child who learns they will get burned touching a hot stove, a liar needs to learn how others respond to being lied to. By definition the word “learn” means “to gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience” (“Learn” def. 1). At a young age my parents told me lying was wrong, but it wasn’t until I experienced being caught that it imprinted in my brain. Lies may serve different types of purposes, however, no matter what the purpose, as a whole, I view lying as a learning experience. Categorizing lies based on their purpose helps me understand why a person might lie. Judith Viorst did an excellent job of categorizing lies in her essay “The Truth about Lying.” She presented four categories: “social lies” (314), “peace - keeping lies” (315), “protective lies” (316), and “trust - keeping lies” (317). However, there are many places where lies would fit into more than one category. When I took a look at lies that I have been told and have told, I realized that many fell into Viorst’s category of “social lies” (314) as well as another she presented. Thus, I would drop the category...

...Learning Experience Paper Anthony Boss PSY/103 July 20, 2016 Kathy Gromoll Learning Experience Paper People learn things in many different ways. Some people learn easy and some people learn in hard ways. The thing is that anyone can learn something. I will share an experience that I learned while I was growing up. My Learning Experience I was young when my father taught me to hunt. I really liked hunting because you had to be quite and still to see something to shoot. My father taught me by classical conditioning. I learned to hunt by doing it over and over. Hunting is a skill that has to be learned by making mistakes and learning how to do it better when you make a mistake. I learned by conditioning myself to do the same thing over and over to get a kill. Classical Conditioning Classical Conditioning is a process by which we learn to associate stimuli and, consequently, to anticipate events. This type of learning is the most common type of learning for some people and dogs. The way you learn this way is being able to associate something like a click with good behavior in dogs. The dog does something good then you click a button and then the dog associates the good behavior with the button click. Some people learn this way also. (Spielman, Dumpter, Jenkins, Lacombe, & Lovett, 2014). Operant Conditioning Operant Conditioning is when a person learns to associate a behavior and its consequence. This type of learning can consist of a reward/punishment...

...When learning to drive there are three major steps; practicing, studying and testing. When practicing most just get behind the wheel and go, rather it be in a parking lot or on the street. Studying is the boring part, normally consisting of allot of reading and or watching. Finally there is the testing phase where he or she would prove their knowledge of what he or she has practiced and studied. This cycle may not go in this order for everyone but the process continues over and over throughout your driving years. When a male or female, child or adult, decides he or she wants to learn to drive or learn a new aspect of driving, then he or she tends to practice it in some way, shape, or form. When a child wants to learn to drive they typically ask their parents or care giver to get on their lap and steer the car while the adult controls the throttle and brake. Later in the child’s life he or she may be allowed to take over all controls fully and drive around in a parking lot, private roads or in some cases public roads. Video games the day and age are so realistic to the point where a person could practice driving while in the comfort of their own home and breaking no laws by letting an unlicensed driver behind the wheel of a car. When I was young and aspiring to drive, my reward was being able to drive my mom around for doing well in school and completing my chores. If I messed up my driving privileges were taken away from me. Since I was a pretty good child I learned to drive...

...LEARNING EXPERIENCE “Great experience comes from great execution.” It has been a tough semester, I would say. It is not yet finished but definitely, this is one of the few semesters that I’ve had that I would really look into the future. As to what I have quoted above, “great experience comes from great execution”, this is, I’d say, what I have really learned in this subject. Giving your best in order for you and the group to achieve a really memorable experience. Giving your full efforts, love and care to what you are doing in order for you to not regret anything in the future. It is challenging yourselves to be better ones to be able to inspire and let others learn from what you have learned and achieved. The teamwork among us, BSHM 3-1D, had been challenged when we had our first event, the Food and Beverage Seminar among the BSHM First Year Students. We’ve gotten a long and challenging way before we were able to execute such successful event. Humbly speaking, it was truly one of the best shots that the block has exerted in order to make a better one. Some of the things that I could say I have learned in this subject, Conventions and Events Management, is being able to persevere on things that come or happen inevitably. Each and everyone’s patience was really tested during the preparation of the event, with the practice sessions, updates per committees, cooperation of each, finalization on where and when to hold the event, final speakers to talk on the seminar, these...

...The three storyboard sessions have constituted a gradual learning progress for me. Thus, I find it difficult to write three separate logs of 500 words. Rather, I prefer to present my learning experiences in a long essay in which I reflect upon three aspects, namely: teamwork, video-editing tool and delivery format. Teamwork. The first thing I recognized about these storyboard sessions is that they were designed as a sequence of discussion phases which set a strong foundation for efficient teamwork. The structure worked peculiarly well with my first and third team. Both times, we began with each member summarizing the key takeaways from their individual papers. Then, we brainstormed how to connect all categorize and cluster our ideas. Next,...

...My service learning project was at a seventy six year old woman’s home, throughout four weeks with one visit a week at an hour and a half per visit. I had originally discussed with R.T. about what she would like to have her occupational outcome to be (long term goal), she told me that she would like to visit family more but was worried about leaving home, afraid something would happen when she was away. Some of my strengths and skill/talents that I felt I exhibited during the visits were good verbal/non-verbal communication, asked open ended and non-open ended questions, teach back method, research and therapeutic use of self. Therapeutic use of self (TUS) as defined by AOTA allows occupational therapy practitioners to develop and manage their therapeutic relationship with clients by using narrative and clinical reasoning; empathy; and a client-centered, collaborative approach to service delivery. One of the limitations I had with my client R.T. was that I couldn’t travel with...

...A service learning experience is the application of reflection to consider the change that needs to be made in order to help a community run more efficiently (Homan, 2016). Throughout my service learning experience, I have developed new professional skills and gained a fresh perspective on the experience and my population served. I believe that in any new work environment one can gain these tools from fellow colleagues/coaches, supervisors/advisors and the individuals served. Additionally, working on a group project that spanned the entire semester challenged my teamwork skills and gave me new insight on effective communication and consensus. As a result of my service learning experience, I grew professionally in terms of understanding group dynamics when working towards a common goal. For example, through working with Girls in the Game, I formed a passion for the program and the population we served this semester. In the beginning of the...

...My Experience with Learning Tactically March 8, 2015 Academic and Career Success Professor Richard Lorgus CTU Online When I was a child about the age of 9, I experienced my first lesson on electricity: electrocution. I had an old television, something that looked like it was from the 70’s that was sitting in my room but belonged to my grandfather. I decided to see if it works, not knowing what curiosity had in store for me, and something instantly ticked in my mind to plug it up. Upon inspection of the power cord, I discovered there wasn’t an adapter on the end, just bare wire. Like the unsuspecting child I was, I divided the cables and attempted to stuff them into the wall outlet and the next thing you know. Pop goes the socket! My mother and stepfather at the time heard the pop and rushed to my room, opened my door, and smelled the charred stench, and saw the black mark in the middle of my forehead from the electricity. That was my first tactical experience with electricity, and it paved the way for my curiosity today. Not everyone has the same experiences, but some are more connected than others. We have those that learn through sound whom are known as auditory learners. Also, those that learn by sight are visual learners. Lastly, you have those that would rather get their hands dirty, the tactile learners. I fit right in the tactile learner range since I prefer to do and learn as I go something of being efficient and getting more done in time. What’s your learning...

...Second Language Learning Experience When I learnt English it was the language of Instruction of my School. I went to a school which had a big language block. We were taught 3 mores language besides English. English was given a big chunk in the block. Therefore, I would like to talk about my experiences of learning French. The methodology used was to a certain extent based on Grammar-Translation Method. We had to learn French grammar rigorously. There were two grammar periods. Every topic taught was followed by a lot of application exercises. Then, there were tests at the end of the unit. We had one big fat book in French which had lessons based on grammar topics. The teacher would first teach the grammar topic and then the lesson was read out. We had to copy the vocabulary list and memorise it. There used to be a lot of homework in French. We also did a lot of translation exercises in from English-French and vice-versa. Most of the French class was copying all what was done on the board. The teacher’ voice was the only voice we heard. Today, when I use a variety of activities in my language class, I feel all the speaking and fluency I developed in French is because of my own hard work. I don’t think what I learnt as a student helped me to speak or write French. I feel the method I was taught was not very student-friendly and had a lot of disadvantages: 1. There was no speaking taught. No role-plays, no pair activities or group activities. 2. Every lesson had a...

...The learning, teaching and assessment experience This assignment is a written account of a learning, teaching and assessment experience within a clinical setting. It considers how the mentorship of a student can be influenced by the learning experience. It also discusses the learning, teaching and mentorship theories and considers the principles of an assessment. It will look at the reliability, validity and different factors that may influence the learner’s needs. It will reflect on the responsibilities and boundaries of the mentor and discuss the legal, ethical and professional accountability. The clinical setting as a learning environment will be analysed and the effectiveness of the roles and responsibilities of a mentor will be discussed. Finally, the importance of effective teamwork within a clinical setting environment will be examined. To comply with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC 2008) all confidential information will be withheld and names changed. According to the NMC (2006) students on an NMC approved pre-registration nursing course must be supported and assessed by a mentor. The mentor must be registered on a local register and must demonstrate their knowledge, skills and competences on an ongoing basis. As a qualified nurse the NMC (2008) also states “you must facilitate students and others to develop their competences”. Student nurses in their final year of study are allocated placements within the community setting every six months. Most students...

It elaborated on recognizing the unique learning preferences of the four generational cohorts now driving America's economy. Identifying inclusive learning strategies to design multigenerational learning experiences and actively incorporating technology mediated learning methods to meet generational learning needs. This in turn will expand an individual's instructional design strategies to include generational learning preferences. Encourage the application of generational learning strategies to enhance an existing or proposed learning experience.

...Learning Experience Paper Nixon Merassaint PSY/103 December 1, 2014 Tricia Ferre There is really no right or wrong answer when it comes describing how or why particular foods or smells moves someone emotionally. The emotion occurs for one reason or another. The ethnic background of an individual can play a part in the experience or emotion. For example being a Haitian the smell of white rice, beans and turkey being cooked brings a since of being back in Haiti among family and friends. Another smell that brings a sense of emotion is when coffee is being brewed regardless of what time of the day, it makes you want to drink it. The smell makes an individual feel alive and well. These types of foods bring comfort and remembrance of family such as grandparents who have past. In a Haitian household the foods and smells are what brings families and friends together and can make an individual stop and remember their childhood. It may not be truly understood how or why foods or smells bring the emotion that it brings all that can really be determined is that it does and in some cases it brings about a peace. These are just a few examples of how particular foods and smells can bring emotion to an individual. In this experience the learning theories where influential and played an important role in expressing the thought and feeling of the individual are behaviorism, cognitive, humanistic and social. Emotions are caused by external stimuli such as the sight and smell of food. The...

Learning is an alteration evolved as an outcome of experience. This paper analyses a personal learning experience in relation with several prospects of the learning theory. Identify what you learned from the experience or experiences. * When I was a little girl I did not like sleeping alone in my room so my mother allowed me to sleep with her until I fell asleep. Once I was asleep she would carry me to my bed and I continued to sleep with no interruptions. One night, my step dad had come home drunk, I heard him go to my mother’s side. As I was opening my eyes, I saw my step dad strike my mother in the face. I started screaming at him to leave her alone. My brother came out of his room and began to threaten him to leave her alone. He turned to him and began to charge after him but my brother ran for safety in the bathroom. I just sat on my mother’s bed crying. My mom began to tell him to pack his bags and leave but that’s when my step dad began to cry and ask for forgiveness. My mom tried to console me from the living room, stating that everything was okay, but I knew that everything...

...Learning Experience Paper Christopher Byer PSY/103 9/20/2015 Classical Conditioning There are two main explanations of how organisms learn. The first explanation is known as classical conditioning. The second explanation is known as operant conditioning. These two types of learning are exhibited in our everyday lives through our home, school, and school. Classical conditioning was discovered by Iran Petrovich Pavlov. He was originally a physiologist whose main focus was the digestive system (Anderman, 2009). His discovery was made during a study on the salivation of dogs when given food. Pavlov observed that the dogs began salivating at the sound of the scientist’s footsteps and at their appearance into the room (Anderman, 2009). This led Pavlov to study the phenomenon further. The experiments that Pavlov was originally observing were based on the set of unconditioned stimulus and its unconditioned response. What is meant by conditioned is that the response is automatic and based on instinct. To compliment this name the stimulus is known as the unconditioned stimulus (Anderman, 2009). With Pavlov's new observations a new set of stimulus and response was found. This new set is known as the conditioned stimulus and the conditioned response. What is meant by conditioned response here is that the response was learned. The stimulus begins as neutral and causes no conditioned response. However, if the neutral stimulus can be associated with another stimulus, then it...
