referred to as behavioral psychology‚ is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorist believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shape our behavior. There are two types of conditioning‚ classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning was studied by the Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov‚ he demonstrated that dogs could learn to associate a neutral stimulus

Russian physiologist is best known for his work in classical conditioning or stimulus substitution. Pavlov’s most famous experiment involved food‚ a dog and a bell. Pavlov’s Experiment * Before conditioning‚ ringing the bell caused no response from the dog. Placing food in front of the dog initiated salivation. * During conditioning‚ the bell was rung a few seconds before the dog was presented with food. * After conditioning‚ the ringing of the bell alone produced salivation.

specific theories focus on why an individual may behave in a certain way. Classical conditioning and operate conditioning both explain the behaviourist approach in a simplified account and can help us grasp an understanding of why an individual may choose to behave in a certain manner. Classical conditioning is one interpretation that can help explain the behaviourist approach in psychology. Classical conditioning is simply when a stimulus creates some form of response but one that has not been observed

OPERANT CONDITIONING‚ A THEORY DEVELOPED BY B.F. SKINNER Dating back to the 1800’s‚ many theories have developed in reference to Child Development. There have been theories that have become classics and those that continue to cause controversy. Doing research on these theories one of them really stood out to me and that is the one of B.F. Skinner. Skinner believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its consequences. He called this approach operant

environment. Behaviourists deal with the following forms of learning: classical conditioning and operant conditioning. In classical conditioning people learn to associate two stimuli when they occur together‚ such that the response originally elicited by one stimulus is transferred to another. The person learns to produce an existing response to a new stimulus. Watson and Rayner (1920) showed how classical conditioning can make someone learn to have a phobia. They conditioned a young boy (Little

that one factor that shapes human behaviour is by child experiences‚ which also in turn‚ influences the unconscious mind through life (Jan Haskings-Winner). I feel that Harvey’s therapy session is in support of B.F Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning. His quick temper always gets in the way whenever his therapist tries to dig deeper to find out about his past‚ and since he has trouble sleeping at night and experience panic attacks during the day‚ his therapist applies the reward and punishment approach

Assignment 1 The cognitive perspective is a theory that attempts to explain human behaviour by understanding our thought process. Our information process is compared to that of a computer: Inputting‚ storing and receiving data. One of the most famous cognitive psychologists was a scientist called Jean Piaget (1896-1980). According to Piaget‚ understanding comes in the form of ‘schemas’ (Fritscher‚ 2011). Schemas are cognitive structures that represent certain aspects of the world (pre-conceived
