Using chapters 1-6 of The Principles of Learning and Behavior ,7th edition by Michael Domjan.
Your new client, Dan, has come to you to discuss a problem he's having. He took a girl to the Texans football game. When the players came rushing out of the tunnel, it was wild. The band was playing, the air cannons were going off -- and he freaked out. He grabbed his date and threw her to the ground to cover her. He realized his heart was pounding and he was sweating and everyone around him was staring at him "like he was a freak". He says he laughed it off and told everyone that he lost his contact and tripped and unfortunately knocked his date down when he stumbled and fell. But you perceive that he feels embarassed and knows this isn't the case. Dan realizes that the behavior is odd -- out of the normal. He is concerned about why he acted this way. Using what we've covered so far -- how did this behavior develop? What has Dan learned that would make him knock an innocent person to the ground? Using professional terminology of the theories and proposals that have been covered, explain how this behavior developed. Your writing should be in a Word document, 12 point Times New Roman font, at least 1000 words. Do not tell Dan what to do to change the behavior. Help Dan figure out why it's happening first.
