Jasperro, It looks like you have the mechanics of working in Wikipedia under control. I appreciate your edit notes, they make it much easier to follow your progress. Since Pavlov's major contribution was Classical Conditioning, I hope you will be moving toward the application of classical conditioning in schools. In classical conditioning, we attend to the effect of the antecedent as opposed to the consequence as in Operant Conditioning (Skinner). Can you locate evidence for a classroom strategy that manages antecedents? What type of intervention/strategy would manage antecedents?PsycTeacher (talk) 15:42, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PsycTeacher, How about incorporating something about behavior modification or functional behavior assessment (FBA)? Am I on the right track here? Thanks for your help, I feel like I am moving in a better direction now that I know to steer clear of consequences in the classroom and focus more on managing the antecedents of behaviors. THANK YOU!

Certainly, Classical Conditioning (CC) is an element of these behavioral programs. Things to consider as you work: CC, antecedent based, initiatives tend to be which, preventive or reactive? Are outcomes of CC operating in the classroom positive, negative, or both? Must we manipulate CC or will it function freely in the environment. These are pretty diffuse, but I want you to have lots of room to create your own idea. These bits may trigger a few ideas. Tell me what you come up with.PsycTeacher (talk) 17:25, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PsycTeacher, I'm searching for research to back up all of these claims but...am I right in assuming that antecedent based initiatives tend to be preventative? Classical conditioning in the classroom is probably a mixed bag of outcomes both positive and negative. Alberto and Troutman postulate that "behavioral principles operate whether anyone is consciously using them."^[1] I'm having trouble finding studies on how classical conditioning operates within the classroom. I'm using the book I just referenced from my previous ABA class that I took and I'm hoping to find some tidbits of good info in there.Jasperro (talk) 22:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jasperro, You are coming along nicely. I assume that the Lead Section element on your Sandbox page is not part of your work? I say that because that is probably already well developed in the main article. Your top paragraph is looking good. It is still largely theoretical, can you find at least one application of an EBP that used Antecedent Control and integrate that into your narrative?

PsycTeacher, I'm on it! Also, yes the Lead Section is from the Ivan Pavlov page, I thought we were to make a small contribution to the lead section that reflects our addition to the main article? I also am making a couple of edits to it to make it better. I have already ran these changes by the community in the Ivan Pavlov talk page.

Jasppero - You got it! All I ask is that you add the specific section on education. Everything else is lagniappe. If you think it makes the whole article better, do it. PsycTeacher (talk) 00:29, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@PsycTeacher: Do you think my article is ready to be moved? I tried to simplify some of my sentence structure and I tried to add some examples of EBP without getting too deep into specific terminology.

@PsycTeacher: Am I clear to go ahead and copy the new section to the main article??

Peer Feedback

@Jasperro: Your section looks great! Had I not known it was an edit being made by a classmate I would have thought it was the original page! Great job! Boofaf (talk) 05:39, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jasperro: I think you're doing a great job integrating all of this material on Pavlov into relevant information for this assignment. I'm impressed, because there is such extensive information and research on Pavlov. I like the comparison of his classical conditioning with dogs to the students in a classroom. I really don't have too much advice to give you at the moment, other than maybe just keep going? I'm sure there are other contributions someone as prominent as Pavlov made to education if you wanted to include them. I'm sure you're still working diligently, but I honestly think what you have is great so far! I fixed a few really minor grammatical errors, but that's all. Go you, girl! :) Hc horton (talk) 06:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jasperro - I believe you are doing a great job on your article. You might think about moving the description of antecedent events closer to the top of that paragraph in order to make clear what that are, but otherwise I think it looks great.Sev0500 (talk) 13:14, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional feedback

Hi Jasperro. Nice work on your draft article expansions. I just had a couple minor stylistic comments about how you might improve things. You have placed your inline references before the punctuation; the convention in Wikipedia articles is that they should be placed after the punctuation. They should appear like this: .^[4] rather than like this ^[4]. And don't forget to add links to other articles; this helps to better integrate your article into the encyclopedia. They help readers by allowing them to learn more about topics they may not be familiar with. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:12, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Ian!

Final Review

@Jasperro: Nice job! I believe this will make a valuable addition to the content available on Wikipedia. Your resources all look good. You worked on getting the language clear and readily understandable. You are ready to add your content to the main article.
