Reviewing reinforcement techniques used by the Navy's Marine Mammals program as demonstrated by Nancy's ability to scratch her head in response to cues (clapping) from the class. "Aunt Nancy" (as we now know her in the RSD Th class) is the aunt of Dr. Forrest Gomez, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Director of Medicine for the National Marine Mammal Foundation.
Applying information about the impact of the environmental toxins from the oil spill on the dolphins to the potential impact of environmental toxins in our own lives. (To view photos, click on Weekly Photos from the Marine Mammal presentation. )
Applying loud/soft and fast/slow clapping cues as reinforcement to the behavior of finding a hidden treasure of See's Halloween candy.
"Aunt Nancy" agrees to hides the candy for Morris to find.
While Nancy hides the candy, Sally shares info about the upcoming Successful Aging Expo at the Town & Country Resort and Convention Center.
The class claps slowly and quietly as Morris enters the room. Morris is deciding if this is "a trick or a treat"...
OK...he's going for it. As a retired physicist who worked with Navy submaries, Morris demonstrates his ability to follow reinforcement cues from the class.
....and closer...
Found! The class "praises" Morris with loud and fast clapping in the background.
Do you think Morris had a smile this big when he was enjoying the rewards of his hunt?! Thanks Morris. Enjoy!
