, Order as 3: Students are given a reward for positive behavior and academic success and a
consequence for negative behavior and lack of academic progress.
Order as 4: Students are assessed and encouraged to work at their own pace as they are
introduced to new information one step at a time.
CORRECT ANSWER
The correct order is Erikson, Maslow, Watson, and Thorndike because each behaviorist
has his own unique theories which are applied to the classroom in different ways.
Erikson's stages place elementary age students in the industry versus inferiority stage,
which says that to encourage industry, students need to feel successful and work at their
level. Maslow's hierarchy of needs starts with basic physiological needs—food and
shelter, then safety, followed by a feeling of belonging. Watson's theories center around
reward and punishment (positive and negative reinforcement). Thorndike's theories
center on the law of effect, which says that "when a connection between a stimulus and
a response is positively rewarded it will be strengthened, and that the more the
stimulus-response bond is practiced, the stronger it becomes. By teaching new
information in small steps and providing quick and timely assessments for students, the
teacher is using the "Law of Effect" to increase student success and understanding.
