【课文要点】：advancing crediting：是如何让小孩能够表现的好。小孩对praise的不同反映，你要是事先表扬他们，再让他们做什么，他们就不太听话。你要是等做完事情后在表扬他们呢，他们就能够表现的好。 【教授举例】：教授讲一组个实验：第一次，把小朋友放一个房间里，给他们糖吃，大部分小孩子们都把糖纸扔地上DROP ON THE GROUND，后来老师教导他们说要爱干净，要保持环境NEAT，很舒服。还表扬那些表现好（behaviour proper），保持环境的小朋友，说他们是干净的小孩。过了一段时间，再做这个试验，大部分小朋友就都把糖纸仍在垃圾桶里。我记得是不管小孩扔不扔糖纸在地上，老师都表扬，结果是再没有小孩扔糖纸到地上了。
Advancing crediting talks about a psychological phenomenon about different responses of children when praised. When the children are praised before they finish the task, they are less likely to follow the instructions. But when they are praised after the task, they tend to behave well. The professor described an experiment. Children were given candies and the experiment was to observe whether the children dropped the candy wrap on the ground. At first, the teacher told students to keep the room neat and comfortable, and praised all the students. But as a result, most students dropped the wrap. Later, the teacher only praised those students who dropped the wrap into the rubbish can, and this time, most students dropped the wrap into the rubbish can after finishing the candies. (128 words)
