Psychology Essay: Feedback, Behavior, and Learning Systems Analysis

This essay examines the interplay between feedback and behavior within psychological systems and learning environments. It analyzes the core argument, supported by two readings: "How Learning Works" by Richard E. Mayer and Edward Daly, III's work on behaviorism. The essay highlights the mutual idea of coordinating feedback to improve psychological phenomena, emphasizing the role of behavioral practices in shaping responses. It explores how feedback serves as a critical communication tool, directing efforts and reinforcing desired behaviors. The analysis extends to the impact of respondent behavior on the nature of feedback received, concluding that the behavioral aspects of a learner significantly influence the feedback provided. The essay draws parallels between the two readings, illustrating how both emphasize the significance of behavioral analysis in understanding learning and research outcomes.

Statement: “The feedback communicates more about the behavioral standards in the
psychological phenomenon and psychological systems”.
This statement is supported by the two readings; first by the book how learning works
forwarded by Richard E. Mayer and another reading by Edward Daly, III on behaviorism
(Ambrose, Bridges, DiPietro, Lovett & Norman, 2010). The two readings have a mutual idea
regarding the statement above. Focusing ion chapter 5 of the book on page 137, the book
discusses the concept of feedback according to the research. This is mutually related ideally with
the other reading on behavioral by Edward Daly, III on behavioral research as per the 20th
century. Both readings bring the idea of one goal-oriented practice to provide the coordination of
feedback to be received in the psychological phenomenon and psychological systems. The book
provides a well-demonstrated idea on the purpose of the feedback in the learning aspect in life
and what desired can be achieved through the analysis of the feedback in the research setting.
The same idea is discussed in the other reading on behavioral aspects affecting the respondent
feedback in research. In this reading the more emphasizes are put within the 20th-century
behavioral aspects in connection with the feed aspects in research.
The two readings share a similar idea on feedback and respondent as per the provided
statement in that methods, assumptions and behavioral practices make the ecology model aspect
in learning (Ambrose, Bridges, DiPietro, Lovett & Norman, 2010). This is the same idea
presented in the book on how the learning works and what kind of practices need to be
incorporated with the learning. Both readings evaluate on ho the responses and feedback as part
of the behavioral concept focus much on the examination of the occurrence of the behaviors,
especially in the learning aspect. This shows that the two readings focus on behavior influence
the feedback and responses received in the learning research.

The two readings are tied to the aspect of the analysis of the behavior based on the human
problem such as educational learning. This aspect is also well supported in the book on page 138
on the communication of the progress as part of directing the subsequent effort. Just like the
other reading, the book suggests that feedback is the most important aspect of communication to
the learners (Edward, 2010). This can be communication on performance matters or meeting
some targets. This suggests that the two reading advocates that the respondent need to provide
the feedback supported by their behavioral aspect. This means the two readings have the same
idea on feedback, respondents and the behavioral phenomenon on the learning aspect. Borrowing
the idea from the two readings, the behaviors of a learner or student determines the type of
feedback he/she will give as the respondent when the learning-based principles are applied in the
research. It has been seen in the two readings that the respondents and the feedback provided is
controlled by the behavioral aspect in the psychological phenomenon and psychological systems.
The overall outcome of the behavior as part of the respondent conditioning is a stimulus
(Edward, 2010). Through the above-provided statement, it is very clear that the two readings
share the almost same idea of analyzing the behavioral part of learning systems and the
significance of feedback in the learning-based research.
