Watson
Maslow
Thorndike
Erikson Order as 1: Students are given assignments on the basis of their ability levels and provided with frequent opportunities for success.
D. Erikson Order as 2: Students are encouraged to eat if hungry, provided with a safe environment, and made to feel accepted in the classroom.
B. Maslow Order as 3: Students are given a reward for positive behavior and academic success and a consequence for negative behavior and lack of academic progress.
A. Watson Order as 4: Students are assessed and encouraged to work at their own pace as they are introduced to new information one step at a time.
C. Thorndike - ANSWER- Correct Answer: D, B, A, C The correct order is Erikson, Maslow, Watson, and Thorndike because each behaviorist has his own unique theories which are applied to the classroom in different ways. Erikson's stages place elementary age students in the industry versus inferiority stage, which says that to encourage industry, students need to feel successful and work at their level.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs starts with basic physiological needs—food and shelter, then safety, followed by a feeling of belonging. Watson's theories center around reward and punishment (positive and negative reinforcement). Thorndike's theories center on the law of effect, which says that "when a connection between a stimulus and a response is positively rewarded it will be strengthened, and that the more the stimulus-response bond is practiced, the stronger it becomes. By teaching new information in small steps and providing quick and timely assessments for students, the teacher is using the "Law of Effect" to increase student success and understanding. 14 Place the behavioral theorist's name next to the classroom practice that best implements his theory.
