Humans and wolves (and house-wolves such as Gwyn)
• Distance runners• omnivores• hierarchical social
structure• group hunters• fluent in body
language• readily motivated
![Page 11: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Both want reward: tangible and intangible
![Page 13: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
:
Neither is inherently reinforced by formal education
“You want it so badly? You pick up the stupid thing.”

Game 1: Motivate the student
![Page 15: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Our student: friendly, articulate, and willing to perform manageable tasks.
![Page 16: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Reinforcement
Anything that, occurring in conjunction with an act, tends to increase the probability that the act will occur again.
![Page 18: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Good ReinforcersImmediate
(“YES!!” “NO!” “TOUCHDOWN!!”)
timing is information
![Page 19: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Focused

Something the student wants….
![Page 22: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You would do almost anything for a million dollars. Would Gwyn?
Important note: Reinforcers are relative!
Think about it. Gwyn would do almost anything for a piece of raw
liver. Would you?
![Page 23: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Poor Reinforcers
• Overly deferred (grades)• Unfocused (given for vague tasks)• Unwanted rewards• Nagging and scolding (if it doesn’t
stop immediately when the behavior changes, it’s nothing more than noise)
![Page 24: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reinforcers
• Positive reinforcer
• Negative reinforcer
• No-reward marker
![Page 25: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Positive Reinforcement:
“What you are doing now is good, and will gain you something, so do it some more.”
![Page 26: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Positive Reinforcement: advantages
• Highly motivational
• Shapes precise behavior
![Page 27: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Positive Reinforcement: disadvantages
• Can lose impact quickly
• Can focus student on reward rather than task
“Mom, I am not a billionaire! A billion is like a thousand million; I’m worth a hundred million. A hundred million is just a hundred million.”
![Page 28: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Positive Reinforcement: overcoming disadvantages
• Conditioned reinforcer
• Variable schedule
• Jackpotting
![Page 29: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conditioned Reinforcer
– Instant--focuses on specific behavior– Promotes long-term work (“keep going”;
“you’re getting there”; e.g., people work endlessly for money, a conditioned reinforcer for things money can buy)
– ALWAYS leads to tangible reward– Must be reserved for “real” task--a specific,
realizable goal
![Page 30: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Gwyn’s CR Game Part 1
• Find the glove!
![Page 31: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Variable Reinforcer: think slot machines (or cartoons)
• Constant reinforcement only for learning stages
• encourages improvement
• longer schedule, more powerful motivator
• exception: puzzle or test, which must be rewarded each time
“Oh, good Lord. Let him have the damned cookie.”
![Page 32: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Jackpot• earned and unearned• can be used to mark a
sudden breakthrough, or
• to motivate an unwilling, fearful, or resistant subject
![Page 33: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Aversives• “Natural” aversives
• Negative reinforcers
• Punishment
![Page 34: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
“Natural” aversives
• Product of “natural” distaste or social conditioning
• Must be overcome (using whatever creative measures are necessary) before progress can be made
![Page 35: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Negative Reinforcement
“What you are doing is not good, and something bad will happen unless you stop.”
![Page 36: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“Mind if I turn my hearing aid down?”
Negative Reinforcement
• Based on student control--can be halted or avoided by changing behavior
• Linked to clear, specific task
• Stops immediately when new behavior begins
![Page 37: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Results of Negative Reinforcement
• Student confidence
• Self-motivation
![Page 38: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Punishment: too much, too late
• Based on student weakness--change in behavior will not affect outcome
• Based on student confusion--no idea of how to escape the punishment
![Page 40: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

reinforced”; “Save your strength”; “That’s a blind alley”
• Neutral--no aversive
• Informative

Self-reinforcement
I suppose it should be
enough that I heard it…

Prey drive
• The “Aha!” moment
• “Killing” a problem
• Following movement
• Physical activity
![Page 50: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Status• Most powerful
motivator--stronger than food or sex drives
• Linked to tangible rewards and prey drive
“Getting USDA approval means a lot to you, doesn’t it?”

The Pack and Pack Dynamics
![Page 53: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Pack hierarchy
![Page 54: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The Alpha Wolf (or student)
• assumes leadership (or may challenge existing leadership)
• makes rules (or tries to get around existing rules)
• gives orders (or subverts them)
• takes chances
• learns and innovates
• has most rewards
• is most stressed
![Page 55: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
As goes the alpha, so goes the pack.Control the alpha, and you control the
pack.As go the alphas, so goes your class.Control your alphas, and you control
your class.
Note: Alpha identification is essential to effective teaching!

The Beta Wolf
• good follower• takes direction• obeys rules• avoids risks• memorizes • fewer rewards• less stress
![Page 57: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
The Omega Wolf
• bottom dog in pack• outcast• often attacked by
other pack members when they’re uncertain of their own status
• only reward is pack association (quintessential groupie)
![Page 59: A Portrait of the Student as a Young Wolf Using Canine/Lupine Behavior Models to Increase Classroom Motivation “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates I](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649dbd5503460f94aafe6c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Search Strategies
1. bone/magic pen
2. games (which can separate alpha from mere extroversion)
3. relative space/seating (two sides in front, rear center)
4. body language
5. eye contact

Using Multiple Alpha Status in the classroom
• Alpha squares
• Alpha circles
• Leader of the pack

of 2-4, shifting the alpha pattern, reshuffling the pack
• Individual strengths emerge
• Students get taste of alpha-hood

Recap: Using canine behavior models to motivate students
• Positive reinforcement• NO punishment--ever• Negative reinforcement--think student control• Behavior Shaping—know what you’re shaping
and why• Play/prey drive: competitive (including self-
competitive) games; “killing” the problem• Status: bringing out the alpha in your students
