Compare And Contrast Classical Conditioning And Social Cognitive
Introduction
This study will compare and contrast the behavioral theory of classical conditioning and the cognitive theory of social cognitive. Both are theories that have been well investigated to produce an outcome of effective learning. This study will examine the conditions of learning from both theories and ague their differences as well as their similarities. Evidence will be present on both sides to support this thesis claims on conditions, similarities and differences. This study will focus on the two theories assumptions, measurements of learning, and its implications to the field.
Classical Conditioning and Social Cognitive Classical Conditioning was first discovered by Ivan Pavlov in 1903. This theory is also known as the respondent conditioning (Olson and Fazio, 2001). Pavlov became well known for this theory through his series of dog experiments that tested the connection the dogs made with the ringing of the bell and its relation with food (Ormrod, 2012). This is explained through stimuli and responses. Social Cognitive came from the root of Edwin B. Holt and Harold Chapman Brown's 1931 book “Animal Drive and The Learning Process”(Lent, Steven, Gail, 1994). Although, “American psychologists …show more content…
Studies have reflected that the evidence within these two theories will support to foster the goals of learning. It has been seen through research and experiments the capability of these two theories. Educators benefit as well as their students. Making this immediate shift and impact in their environment could make all the difference in their learning outcomes. Separately, classical condition and social cognitive theory make a small significate impact on the learning process, but together these two theories could impact learning
