As asked by the principal I will attempt to explain this behavior using several theories of Human Development‚ including the theory of operant conditioning‚ the social learning theory and Erikson’s psychosocial theory.

explanation 2. Define classical and operant conditioning. (4 points) Classical conditioning is the learning that takes place based on an association of a stimulus that does not ordinarily elicit a response with another stimulus that does elicit the response. Operant conditioning is a process in which a response is gradually learned via reinforcement or punishment. a. How are they the same? How are they different?

Behavioural psychology‚ also known as behaviourism‚ is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviours are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. According to behaviourism‚ behaviour can be studied in a systematic and observable manner with no consideration of internal mental processes. As human beings we are driven to understand who

Describe the behaviourist approach in psychology and evaluate the research methods used by behaviourist psychologists. The behaviourist approach in psychology states that all behaviour is learnt from experience and from the environment we are in. John Locke (1690) a psychologist described the mind as ‘Tabula Rasa’‚ believing when we are born our minds are completely blank slates‚ and that all of our behaviour is dependent upon our interactions and experiences with the environment.

The learning theory proposes that attachment behaviours are learnt through the imitation of the attachment figures meaning they are not innate. One explanation of how this happens is through Classical Conditioning. In the Learning Theory Classical Conditioning is the forming of an attachment through association. The Learning Theory states that when a baby is born they naturally want food. When the mother feeds the baby it automatically associates the food which is the primary reinforces with its

assumptions of this theory are that the environment shapes behaviour and that taking internal mental states into consideration is useless in explaining behaviour. Ivan Pavlov‚ a Russian physiologist discovered the classical conditioning in the 1920s. Classical conditioning focuses on the learning of involuntary emotional or physiological responses. In his laboratory‚ Pavlov was in a dead end by his experiments to determine how long it took a dog to secrete digestive juices after it had been fed

LEARNING Learning- a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING – learning based on association of stimuli OPERANT CONDITIONING – Kind of learning based on the association of consequences with one’s behavior. Premack principle – This states that a more preferred activity can be used to reinforce a less preferred activity. Reinforcement schedules differ in two ways: • What determines when reinforcement is delivered – the number of responses made (ratio) or
