Constructivism vs. Behaviorism Loree (Myrna) Sanchez PSY331: Psychology of Learning Alzic Upton December 19‚ 2016 Constructivism vs. Behaviorism Learning theories have long attempted to explain the reason why people learn the way they do.

In Brains and Behaviors‚ Hilary Putnam argues against logical behaviorism by stating that that the word ‘pain’ is vague and that it is more of a reaction than a behavior. Putnam argues that there must be a general understanding of the concept of pain. In this paper‚ I will affirm the arguments presented by Putnam since there is no true definition of pain. To support this argument‚ I will first provide more details that help support Putnam’s idea that pain is not a term‚ but instead it is reaction
