Year 12 Psychology Incursion- PAWS in Schools
Wednesday, April 02, 2025
Our Year 12 Psychology students have been studying theories and models to explain learning and along with our own in class experiments we were lucky enough to be visited by Dr Rundle and his lovely working dog.
He demonstrated a range of canine learned obedience and scent behaviours and broke the down to discuss how he trains behaviours and how he utilises both classical and operant conditioning. This includes the three-phases of each type of conditioning, reinforcement, punishment and factors the influence these. He was also able to draw on real life examples for the students.
It was an opportunity to see these theories applied in real life scenarios and our students were thrilled to see it.
