Wayne Country Day School

AP Psychology class went on a field trip and attended a program developed for our class by zoo staff focusing on Operant Conditioning strategies used by the NC Zoo.  It was demonstrated by staff using a salamander and a rabbit.  They also discussed how conditioning strategies, such as Classical Conditioning using positive and negative reinforcement, are used with other zoo animals.  Following the program, students were assigned to conduct their own Naturalistic Observation of a zoo animal recording observations and data.
