Answer to Question 1

Answer: key points to be made
When someone is satiated, they are not driven, motivated to gain or take
When someone is deprived, hungry, they are more likely to seek reinforcement/reward
The condition of the individual explains why poor might commit more crime
These material satisfiers are more important than social reinforcers, biological is primary drive
Satiation and deprivation added to operant conditioning to explain why a person might be more receptive to certain stimuli at certain times - current condition matters
Objective: Compare and contrast Jeffery and Akers on the basic concepts of social learning theory

Answer to Question 2

Answer: key points to be made
Answers will vary but ideas should convey the following:
Both reinforcements try to increase the chances a behavior will be more frequent.
Positive reinforcement increases the chances for a behavior like when mom gives kid a cookie for cleaning his room.
Negative reinforcement absence or withdraw something negative as when you say sorry and mom wont ground you.
Both forms of punishment try to eliminate a behavior.
Positive punishment wants to stop childs acting out, so you give a spanking
Negative punishment removes a reward you would normally get, like you cant go out tonight with friends.
