Behaviourist approach to development suggests that children learn through conditioning; new behaviours are learnt from past experiences and that all learning is influenced by rewards and punishments. Pavlov and Watson researched classical conditioning and found there was a link to rewards‚ punishments and behaviour. This research has enabled professionals to understand children’s phobias and obsessive compulsive disorders. Operant conditioning focuses on exploring the environment and learning the consequences

punishments is used to reinforce desired behaviour or extinguish unwanted behaviour. Any behaviour that emerges a consequence is called operant behaviour‚ because the individual operates on his or her environment. Reinforcement theory concentrates on the relationship between the operant behaviour and the associated consequences‚ and is sometimes referred to as operant conditioning where behaviour is controlled by manipulating the

The study of behaviourism‚ as Watson outlined was the idea: of only focusing on physical behaviour Watson’s study was first developed by Pavlov called classical conditioning: Pavlov found that dogs salivate when they see food and attempted to provoke salivation with an alternative stimulus. To achieve this Pavlov sounded a bell whenever food was presented. Later the bell became a trigger for the dog and even if there were no food present the dog would still salivate. Pavlov found that for the associations

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): Original stimulus that elicits the desired response before the conditioning process begins. Conditioned Stimulus (CS): New stimulus‚ in a conditioning process‚ that was originally ineffective in eliciting a given response but has become capable of doing so. Conditioned Response (CR): New or acquired response elicited by a stimulus not originally has become capable of doing so. Classical Conditioning: Repeated pairing of an unconditioned stimulus‚ which originally elicited a given

This model is composed of two parts‚ classical conditioning and operant conditioning‚ and behaviorists believes all types of abnormal fear are learned through conditioning. In classical conditioning‚ the subject learned to associates neutral stimuli with an unconditioned stimuli‚ so the presence of only neutral stimuli would have elicit a response due to association. In operant conditioning‚ an individual learned to associates between a distinct behavior and a particular

Theorists believe learning experiences as the development of our personality. During these developmental years the environment has the greatest influence on the personality. This influence is reinforced by positive or negative rewards. Classic conditioning explains many behavioral reaction patterns. When a person receives positive reinforcement of a behavior (reward)‚ they develop this behavior as part of their own. A person will continue to perform a certain action because of the reward at the

There are many different theories on how people learn and over the years learning theories have dramatically changed. They have been superseded by newer theories based on psychological‚ social‚ cultural development factors‚ (Fritscher‚ 2011).In this paper I will be concentrating on five theories‚ three psychological and two social‚ they are; Behaviourism‚ Humanism‚ Constructivism‚ Lave and Wenger Communities of Practice‚ and Vygotsky’s learning theory. I have chosen these theories because I believe

Mr. Kelly would like to increase the frequency in which Bobby cleans his room. Operant Conditioning “Occurs when a behavior in a particular situation is followed by a reinforcing consequence‚ thus making the behavior more likely to occur in similar circumstances in the future (Miltenberger‚ 2012).” In Bobby’s case‚ Mr. Kelly‚ Bobby’s father
