So far, I have these sources that I will use for William Kaye Estes's and his contribution to education.

Stimulus Sampling Theory

Dainaloo, you have some great material here. How are you doing at developing a narrative? If you need assistance, just ping me. PsycTeacher (talk) 19:14, 10 July 2015 (UTC

Hey Dainaloo, I want to applaud you for tackling such a difficult topic. I've done a little bit of independent research on my own about this and from what I can tell you have your hands full. The first minor critique I have for you would be to change your heading. The Wikipedia guidelines say that only the first word of a heading needs to be capitalized unless its a proper noun (similar to APA style). So yours would be Estes on learning theory. Keep up the good work! You're doing a great job. A reynolds (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I have a rewording suggestion for your first sentence in your second paragraph.

The “folding-in” technique used in classrooms is today derived from the stimulus sampling theory.

Style Feedback
Dainaloo,

You are right on track regarding content.

I have some suggestions regarding writing style. I am including three levels of text below. The first is your original text. The second show that you have three assertions, have you correctly supported all three. The last shows you a model of simplified style. Use the plainnest language possible. Use short, clear sentences, and use active voice. I am goin to post some sources on sentence length and active/passive voice to the course talk page for everyone.

Your Original Text

Estes provided the education world a phenomenon called the stimulus sampling theory (SST), which provided a mathematical language in which identified conventions about learning and performance in relation to stimulus variables (Atkinson & Estes, 1962).[1] [WORDY] SST was proposed [PASSIVE VOICE] to explain how a stimulus-response association can be learned [PASSIVE VOICE] in a single trial, but require more stimulus-response relations to build an evident unit of learning. Natural extensions of this theory have led [HAVE LED] to interpretations of discrimination, generalization, temporal processes, and even motivational phenomena (Estes & Suppes, 1959).[2]

Three Assertions are they all credited

Estes provided the education world a phenomenon called the stimulus sampling theory (SST), which provided a mathematical language in which identified conventions about learning and performance in relation to stimulus variables (Atkinson & Estes, 1962).[1] [WORDY]

SST was proposed [PASSIVE VOICE] to explain how a stimulus-response association can be learned [PASSIVE VOICE] in a single trial, but require more stimulus-response relations to build an evident unit of learning.

Natural extensions of this theory have led [HAVE LED] to interpretations of discrimination, generalization, temporal processes, and even motivational phenomena (Estes & Suppes, 1959).[2]

Modeled Revision

Estes proposed a model of learning that he called Stimulus Sampling Theory (SST). SST is a probabilistic model that provides a statistical explanation of how we learn a stimulus-response association in a single trial, but require more stimulus-response repetitions to build an evident unit of learning. (Atkinson & Estes, 1962).[1]

A natural extension of SST theory provides explanations of discrimination, generalization, temporal processes, and even motivational phenomena (Estes & Suppes, 1959).[2]

I believe I am ready for review!

Final Review
Well done! You have explained the basics of this theory and provided a documented application to the classroom. Your language is good. Your resources are all credible. You are ready to move your content into the main article. Be certain to sign your edit so I can easily identify the attributions. PsycTeacher (talk) 12:57, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Original article
It looks like someone has already posted a little about SST on Estes's page; however, this person did not use any references. How should I go about adding my section? Their section is named Background and education. Thanks!

I looked at the original material. The education they are focusing on there is his (Estes) education. Although they mention SST they do not explain it or tell how it might be applied in education. I suggests that you go ahead and add a new section for your material and name it Estes on Education for clarity. Then you might go up to the original material and add a line noting that the application of SST in education is explained in more detail below. 192.200.147.140 (talk) 14:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
