Piaget‚ Bandura‚ Bowbly and Vygotsky Development is about the customary way that a child acts (Bruce & Meggit‚ 2006). Child development is multidisciplinary. Several researches have put forward theories on the way children developed. These can be divided into the psychoanalytical theories‚ the learning theories‚ and the cognitive development theories. In this assignment‚ I will explain a number of these theories by showing what the theorists had developed. Jean Piaget: (Cognitive-development

We use the term classical conditioning to describe one type of associative learning in which there is no contingency between response and reinforcer. This situation resembles most closely the experiment from Pavlov in the 1920s‚ where he trained his dogs to associate a bell ring with a food-reward (Ryle 1995). In such experiments‚ the subject initially shows weak or no response to a conditioned stimulus (CS‚ e.g. the bell)‚ but a measurable unconditioned response (UCR‚ e.g. saliva production) to

Cognitive Theorist Paper PSY/390 Learning and Cognition University of Phoenix May 1‚ 2013 Dr. Tekesia Jackson Albert Bandura has made great contributions to the field of learning and cognition. His finding formed the foundation of modern social learning theory. Bandura studies were base on observational learning or modeling (2013). He believed that people learn by observing others‚ such behaviors‚ but not necessary by imitating or mimicking (2013) For example if you see a friend slipping on

behaviorist and cognitivist theories. But Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory posits that people learn from one another - via observation‚ imitation‚ and modeling. The social learning theory has often been called a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning theories because it includes attention‚ memory‚ and motivation. As a result it is sometimes called social cognitive learning. While rooted in many of the basic concepts of traditional learning theory‚ Bandura believed that direct reinforcement
