Behaviorism
General Overview

The behaviorist
perspective proposed
that it was more
important to
understand
observable (external)
human actions rather
than the thought
process (internal and
unobservable) (p
31).

The authors discuss

the behaviorist
perspective proposed
that it was more
important to
understand
observable (external)
human actions rather
than the thought
process (internal and
unobservable)
(2015).

Classical Conditioning
Process

Classical
conditioning
primarily focuses on
the ability to use
stimuli to create
involuntary responses
such as blinking and
salivating (Palvo,
1927).

Palvo states that

classical conditioning
primarily focuses on
the ability to use
stimuli to create
involuntary responses
such as blinking and
salivating (19270.)

Classical Conditioning
(Pavlov) Findings

In this classical
conditioning
experiment, salvation
changed from an
unconditioned
response to a
controlled response.

Palvo spent numerous

hours to explain that,
in this classical
conditioning
experiment, salvation
changed from an
unconditioned
response to a
controlled response
(2015).

Watson Findings

Counter-condition
would involve paring
the conditioned
stimuli (the rat) with
something
unpleasant.

In Watsons findings,
Counter-condition
would involve paring
the conditioned
stimuli (the rat) with
something unpleasant
(2015).

Operant Conditioning

It is defined as a
type of learning
where a learners
behavior is changed

Reinforcement

There are two types

of reinforcement:
positive and negative
reinforcement.

The authors state that,

There are two types
of reinforcement:
positive and negative
reinforcement
(2015).

Punishment

Punishment, on the
other hand, is
anything that might
weaken or diminish
the likelihood that a
behavior may
continue.

Windsor, Murell,
Magun-Jackson
believe, Punishment,
on the other hand, is
anything that might
weaken or diminish
the likelihood that a
behavior may
continue.

Schedules of
Reinforcement

Continuous
reinforcement is
particularly beneficial
when a learner is
learning a new
behavior because the
behavior is likely to
change very quickly.

The authors state that,

continuous
reinforcement is

when a learner is
learning a new
behavior because the

(2015).

Social Learning
Theory

This perspective
suggest that a
substantial amount of
human learning takes
place as individuals
observe the actions
that occur within the
environment.

Social learning
theories, suggest

Learned
helplessness develops
when an individual
responses passively
to an adverse stimuli
rather than escaping
it.

Learned
helplessness develops
when an individual
responses passively
to an adverse stimuli
rather than escaping
