Shaping: gradually increase correspondence between the learner"s behaviour and the desired response. External reinforcement vs. internal reinforcement: observational learning. Genie"s location meant that she had very little opportunity to observe even basic behaviours, or more complex behavioural patterns (e. g. dressing) Without language, children are unable to successfully undergo more complex socialization and learn about the values, norms and standards of a particular culture. Genie initially demonstrated little aptitude for the three components of language: the sound system (phonology, words and their associated meaning (lexicon, the rules for combining words into meaningful utterances (grammar) Other observations: substitution of other communication skills, language not necessary to form memories, physical senses shaped by socialization, cathartic strategies are learned. Prevalence: 50% of canadian parents with children (0-5) report corporal punishment.
