Chasing down and embracing that feeling with a welcoming and accepting posture desensitizes you to the feeling over time. Conversely, if you are unwilling to feel the feeling, but instead rely on compulsions and avoidances, desensitization cannot happen.
But what if that feeling is guilt? I don’t want to become desensitized to guilt, so that I no longer have a conscience.

Introspection (called it “internal perception”), a process by which someone examines their own conscious experience as objectively as possible, making the human mind like any other aspect of nature that a scientist observed. [(https://openstax.org/books/psychology-2e/pages/1-2-history-of-psychology)]![]
Introspection can be used as a personal SWOT analysis
Children construct intuitive theories of the world and alter and revise those theories as the result of new evidence.
A very sophisticated way to say that kids make things up as they go along! Perhaps the authors' surprise comes from the fact that adults are not so different?
There seems to be more agreement than not with Bada & Olusegun (2015) regarding the overall value of constructivism. However, it's unclear if the Piagetian-dismissing authors of Reconstructing constructivism would agree with constructivism as explained by Bada and Olusegun.
In my experience as a First-Year Composition educator, I can say that students value the process of active learning far more than, say, formulaic, fill-in-the-blank assignments. Perhaps this is because there's more recursive inquiry and metacognition in active, process-oriented learning that reflects the theory theory?
In other words, they learn by experience.
This is a really interesting point and harkens back to Jean Piaget.
However, it’s hard to focus, and all the bodily sensations that come with anxiety are not exactly pleasant.
I can't focus and I can't pinpoint where the cause of anxiety is coming form.
Skinner’s reinforcement theory was used to create carefully constructed self-instructional materials
I always wondered about the beginning of Instuctional Design, and it is nice to understand that Skinnerian psychology had a part in forming the foundation of Instuctional Design We know today.
Encouraging everyone to do this regularly builds up both the team’s level of psychological safety and people’s courage to be vulnerable.
psychological safety!

involves a complex interaction of conscious and unconscious processes.
Ruiz, J. G., MD, Mintzer, M. J., MD, & Leipzig, R. M., MD, PhD. (2006) discuss the learning processes required to succeed in medical school. As of late, medical schools have implemented e-learning into their programs, which require many hours of study to appropriately learn material. "While e-learning should not be a substitute, it greatly compliments the learning process. -Ruiz, J. G., MD, Mintzer, M. J., MD, & Leipzig, R. M., MD, PhD. (2006)
latent learning
Question: When observing a friend shoot a basketball, and you're waiting your turn, you are given the ball and told to shoot but its your first time. After you shoot, the ball goes in and you're bamboozled as to how this happened. What type of learning was applied?
Answer: Latent learning, which occurs when there is a reason to do a task.
Remember, the best way to teach a person or animal a behavior is to use positive reinforcement
Question: What is positive reinforcement, and what is an example from your own life?
Answer: the addition of a reward following a behavior. An example of my personal life, would be earning money when mowing my parents yard without being asked.
Why is shaping needed?
An interesting TED talks about this can be found at:
In his operant conditioning experiments, Skinner often used an approach called shaping
Question: What is shaping, and what is its purpose when learning?
Answer: Shaping is the process where you are rewarded through small steps that lead to the end goal of learning an objective. Its purpose is to learn the process of systems in a learning objective one small portion at a time.
In discussing operant conditioning, we use several everyday words—positive, negative, reinforcement, and punishment—in a specialized manner. In operant conditioning, positive and negative do not mean good and bad
Swanberg, A. B. (2010) discusses the positive and negative effects of personality traits in her" article. This applies directly to operant conditioning because once we have displayed certain traits in the classroom, or not showing up to the classroom, we begin to see the effects of operant conditioning. Once our grades start to slip, we will most likely become aware and not skip anymore, thus proves operant learning. Swanberg, A. B. (2010) states that "that there is a correlation between conscientiousness and academics."
At WSU, you can learn more from operant learning at their lab, found at:
There are specific steps in the process of modeling that must be followed if learning is to be successful.
This simple fact is well portrayed in Steffens, K. (2006) article about self imposed learning, and what it takes to be successful at it. The link between the two isn't necessarily observing, but rather observing and then applying what we have learned. Steffens, K. (2006) writes beautifully regarding the potential for learning simply from observing and applying TELE systems.

It was then that Claire knew she wanted to discipline her children in a different manner.
Darling-Hammond, L., & Richardson, N. (2009) have explained this theory of observational learning well in their article, which explains teachers observing higher educators from test groups and their teaching methods. While observing it was said that "an understanding came for teaching effectively, but maybe not meeting learning standards." Darling-Hammond, L., & Richardson, N. (2009).
