Attribution Theory

For this journal, you will reflect on your understanding of attribution theory, as well as apply the concept to your own past behavior(s). As you have learned, attribution theory states that individuals tend to make sense of (logically prescribe) situations by associating them to self, others, thoughts, feelings, or actions. This theory suggests that learners should consider why they do what they do, and what or who they are giving credit for both the victories and the failures. Further, this theory suggests that if a person believes that they are not good at something, they may attribute their unsuccessful outcomes to external factors, rather than to themselves. In contrast, if individuals have success, they more often may attribute their successes to internal factors.
To successfully write this journal,
Discuss your understanding, based on our required content, of attribution theory, including the origins and major premises.
Describe stability and controllability and how they affect performance attributions. Include why these matter in the context of learning.
Identify a time where you feel you have failed and blamed someone or something else when it was not actually, in hindsight, their fault (e.g., the teacher, the friend, a loved one). (Failure could be academic, relational, and/or organizational—loss of a job.)
Elaborate on how blaming the external source(s) preserved your self-image and your self-efficacy?
Based on your new understanding of how to identify your own responsibility in the learning or behavioral process, explain whether you might handle failure, in general, differently now. If so how? If not, why not?
Your journal this week should be 400 to 500 words, limit quoted material, and have an introduction and a conclusion as described in the Writing Center’s resource Introductions & Conclusions. You should exhibit obvious attention to critical thought and understanding of the content, as demonstrated in Samantha Agoos’s (2020) TED-Ed Animation 5 Tips to Improve Your Critical Thinking.

brain computer interface

04 Brain-Computer Interface
Imagine that you are a neuroscientist who is working on a system to overcome a spinal cord injury. The
goal of this system is to operate either mechanical hands or legs like the ones shown in the video. The
general goal of this essay is how would you design this system?
1. Begin with a brief overview of what brain-computer interfaces are and how they work to help
people with spinal cord injuries.
2. How would the sensory side of your proposed system work? Sensory inputs will be important
so people can “feel” their robotic legs or arms.
3. What occurs in the brain after the sensory input? Which step happens first, second, and so on?
Try to use the brain parts described in the assigned reading for this week.
4. Describe the output side of your system. What kind of technology will you use to detect brain
activity? How does it communicate to the robotic limbs? What will the person do or think to
control their robotic limb?

Explain how that person has tried to be more sustainable.

Throughout the semester, we have discussed different concepts about sustainability. It is one thing to learn about sustainability, but seeing examples of this in real life is important!
In this quiz, you will describe a story about sustainability in your own personal life. It can be a personal example where you tried to be more sustainable in your lifestyle or someone you know closely like a friend or family member who has chosen a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
Part A: You must choose 1 unique story before the last day of classes.
If it is a personal example, explain the details of what you did or are doing to be more sustainable.
If it is an example based on a friend’s or family member’s lifestyle, explain how that person has tried to be more sustainable.
Part B: For your chosen example, use 3 different concepts we discussed in class to explain how the story promotes sustainability.
You cannot use the same example as another student and you must write your entries in your own words.
Provide a picture that you have taken using your own camera that shows the example of sustainability. The picture must include your face in the picture.
Write your answer on a word document and include the picture you have taken.
Your submission will be counted towards your Quizzes and Participation marks for the semester.
