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

Key perspective assignment This assignment will be describing and evaluating two key perspectives within psychology which exist in deliberate contrast of one another. The first of which is the psychodynamic perspective founded by Sigmund Freud‚ who ignores the trappings of science and instead focuses on unconscious/internal conflicts‚ trying to get inside the head of individuals in order to make sense of their relationships‚ experiences and how they see the world (McLeod‚ 2007).

This theory is called Behaviorism and Social- Learning and can be attributed to a psychologist named John Watson (1878-1958) and B.F.

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

There are three main categories of learning theory: behaviorism‚ cognitivism‚ and constructivism. Behaviorism focuses only on the objectively observable aspects of learning. Cognitive theories look beyond behavior to explain brain-based learning. And constructivism views learning as a process in which the learner actively constructs

The three perspectives that I have chosen to compare and contrast are Behaviorism‚ Psychodynamic‚ and the Humanistic approach. These three approaches each seem to focus on more "tangible" types of evidence‚ not any physiological evidence or reasons. The first two‚ Behaviorism and Psychodynamic‚ both focus on how specific stimuli may affect or cause certain behaviors. Whereas the third‚ Humanistic‚ is more concerned with the uniqueness of the individual. The behavioral perspective was first
