Hypothesis
The scenario in the video is this: two children are playing catch indoors and accidentally knock over and break a vase or other fragile object. They start panicking. An adult enters and scolds them before cleaning up the mess. The children, having learnt their lesson, move outside before resuming their game.
Classical conditioning: the audience will find the object breaking to be more impactful or unexpected because the video starts with several throws between the children to be successful— they should begin to associate the ball being thrown with it being caught. If the first throw broke the object, it wouldn’t have the same effect, nor would it be as obvious as an accident.
Operant conditioning: the children are conditioned to change their behaviour (playing catch inside) because of consequence (breaking something/being scolded). The audience should understand this cause and effect, and may relate it to a similar occurrence in their own lives.
Video B will be more effective in communicating the story to an audience because the ‘characters’ move more in a way that shows how they feel. Viewers should be able to translate these movements into human behaviours they are familiar with (e.g. a triangle moving up and down a short distance quickly = a person being startled).
Behaviourism & Media Psychology
While I think behaviourism falls short of explaining all the complexities of human psychology, I think translates really well into understanding our relationship with media. Behaviourism at its core is about provoking a response through stimulation; we build associations through repeated exposure and change our behaviour to achieve or avoid certain outcomes (Andover, 2013).
In all media, whether it’s advertising or art, the creators are trying to get you to react a certain way to whatever it is you’re consuming. They can employ behaviourist theories to create subconscious associations in its audience (for example: repeated exposure to a brand can make you feel more favourable to it compared to its competitors over time (Grimes, 2023)), or utilise existing cultural or personal associations to its advantage (like using sad music in a movie to make you care more about the character).
Media production is becoming more and more data driven, with heavyweights like Netflix relying on analytics to optimise and predict performance (Mixson, 2021) we’re only going to see more people and companies interested in trying to harness the power of conditioning creating repeatable response.

Problems with “problem behavior”: A secondary systematic review of intervention research on transition-age autistic youth
Lay abstract
In a previous study, we looked at research done on strategies to support autistic people who were between 14 and 22 years old. For this study, we looked at all of the studies in our previous study that tried to decrease or stop autistic people from doing certain things—many researchers call these things “problem behavior.” There were 48 studies that tried to reduce problem behavior, and most of them used strategies like prompting and reinforcement to try get autistic people to change their behavior. We found many things wrong with these studies. Most of them did not define the group of behaviors they were trying to stop autistic people from doing. None of the studies looked at whether any side effects happened when they tried the strategy they were studying. Also, most of the studies tried to stop autistic people from doing behaviors that probably were not harmful, like stereotypic behavior. Most of the studies did not say how they decided that the behaviors they tried to stop were a problem for the autistic people in the study, and most studies did not try to figure out why the autistic people in the study did the behaviors the researchers were trying to stop them from doing.
talking of cats, and indeed dogs, scent-oriented animals who scent mark.
the clue is in the word' oriented'. the marking may be less about 'territory' as in fenced-off, and more about map making and orientation. patterans rather than keep-out signs.

5 TYPES OF OPERANT CONDITIONING PROCEDURES
Five Operant conditioning procedures are defined by the presentation or removal of a reinforcement or punishment. In this scenario, the term positive is used to imply addition, and negative to denote subtraction of an incentive. The procedures are: Positive reinforcement (Reinforcement): this occurs when a behaviour (response) of the subject is followed by a stimulus that is rewarding and this…

“Now that we know how positive reinforcement works, and why negative doesn’t, we can be more deliberate and hence more successful, in our cultural design. We can achieve a sort of control under which the controlled…nevertheless feel free. They are doing what they want to do, not what they are forced to do. That’s the source of the tremendous power of positive reinforcement—there’s no restraint and no revolt. By a careful design, we control not the final behavior, but the inclination to behave—the motives, the desires, the wishes. The curious thing is that in that case the question of freedom never arises."
B.F Skinner, Walden Two
