Educational Psychology / Unit 11   EDP 1021 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Ignoring, Cues and Consequences

Captions available

The idea

Responses rise from ignoring minor, unnoticed behavior, which relies on extinction, to nonverbal cues, to consequences: natural ones that follow on their own, and logical ones that the teacher arranges to fit the behavior.

In practice

Feeling cold after forgetting a coat is natural; cleaning up a spill is logical.

Where people slip

Consequences work when proportionate and understood.
