Observed behaviors or performance comes out as output.\u00a0 Using the body\u2019s senses, a learner can be conditioned to observe their output to compare to that of a top performer, a perfected model, or their own immediate past performance to see if they are improving.\u00a0 A feedback loop from output back to the input allows the learner to make adjustments to their next input by changing the sensory cue to focus on.\u00a0 When the correct cues and strategies yield the correct performance output, the learner has been conditioned to have improved responses to the modified stimulus cues.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A psychologist is trained to go back through your performance history to learn where your mind created the inappropriate responses to stimulus cues you were subjected to at that time in your life.\u00a0 You may or may not have had any control over the kinds of stimulus cues or your environment.\u00a0 Through question and answer counseling sessions, the psychologist tries to pinpoint stimulus events that altered your behaviors. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">The psychologist tries to open the black box (see figure below) and the behaviorist does not to focus only on input and output. Psychologists are clinically trained and licensed to practice asking you probing and sometimes painful questions to help you understand your difficulties today in order to move your life forward in a positive manner. \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Behaviorists like coaches, teachers, parents, and managers make observations to compare current with past performance and want to see an improved change in your behavior to produce a better positive performance outcome.\u00a0 It is wise to copy what top performers do and also try to understand their thinking process to improve personal performance outcomes. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Today there are very few theoretical behaviorists.\u00a0 The last prominent educational behaviorist was Robert Gagn\u00e9, a professor, who died several years ago in his 90\u2019s, and was best known for helping instruct military personnel using his Nine Events of Instruction model.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the coming days and weeks, I will explain how the violation of behavioral rules has led to failures in everything from government policy, economic strategy, and welfare and education reform to current events making the daily news. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Human behavior is what it is.
