Among the new techniques in zoo management is a concerted effort to make the animals’ environments stimulating and interesting. Each day, before animals are released into the daytime environment, zoo staff hide food items, toys, and other surprises throughout the environment. Assume that a local zoo has asked you to help them create naturalistic learning situations for their primate family collections.
Watch the “Learning Sets” video available on the student website.
Prepare a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes for zoo managers and caretaker staff on how they might apply the ideas in this video segment on how chimpanzees and humans differ in transfer of learning.
Address the following in your presentation:
· An explanation of learning sets from the video
· How learning sets facilitate learning in both chimpanzees and humans, including an explanation of differences between chimpanzees and humans in transfer of learning
Among the new techniques in zoo management is a concerted effort to make the animals’ environments stimulating and interesting. Each day, before animals are released into the daytime environment, zoo staff hide food items, toys, and other surprises throughout the environment. Assume that a local zoo has asked you to help them create naturalistic learning situations for their primate family collections. Based on your experience with the local zoo, you believe they might benefit from the information.
Watch the “Learning Sets” video available on the student website.
Prepare 3- to 5-page journal article for a professional journal for zoo managers and caretaker staff on how they might apply the ideas in this video segment on how chimpanzees and humans differ in transfer of learning.
Address the following in your article:
· An explanation of learning sets
· How learning sets facilitate learning in both chimpanzees and humans, including an explanation of differences between chimpanzees and humans in transfer of learning
Popular television shows have created a heightened interest in criminal profiling as a career. The subtlety and complexity of profiling skills are much too difficult to learn by simply studying texts and attending lectures. Assume you have been asked to address the staff of an FBI criminalist school about how to best teach these difficult skills. You have decided to base one 10-minute portion of your presentation to transfer of learning, which you believe is one of the most effective ways to teach complex skills.
Watch the “Criminal Profiling Research Project” video available on the student website.
Prepare a 10-minute Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes explaining how some of the concepts and skills of criminal profiling can be trained in criminalists by transfer of learning.
Address the following in your presentation:
· How the interviews conducted by Robert Ressler in the video can be considered examples of transfer of learning
· How the art of profiling is more adaptable to a seminar or discussion form of learning transfer than a didactic form
See Option 3 above. After you made that presentation, you decided that part was so important that it should be shared with others interested in training criminalists and, in fact, virtually all staff involved in training law enforcement personnel.
Watch the “Criminal Profiling Research Project” video available on the student website.
Prepare 3- to 5-page journal article for a professional journal for law enforcement personnel explaining how some of the concepts and skills of criminal profiling can be trained in criminalists by transfer of learning.
Address the following in your article:
· Explain the types of transfer listed in Table 6.2 of Learning Theories, including distinguishing the pairs of types—near versus far, literal versus figural, and so forth.
· Explain teaching for transfer.
