Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2) unconditioned response (UR)- in classical conditioning‚ the unlearned‚ naturally

explanations of aggression comes from Bandura and Walters in 1963. He suggests that aggression is learned either indirectly; through observational learning and only replicated if vicarious reinforcement occurs‚ or directly- where aggressive behaviour is directly reinforced. While both are a form of operant conditioning‚ the direct approach parallels the ideas much closer. Bandura outlined the following three steps in the modelling process of SLT: Observation- by watching the behaviour of role models

behaviorist- Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior that arises from practice or experience. *By cognitive psychologists- define learning as a mental change that may or may not be associated with changes in behavior. Classical Conditioning -is a simple form of associative learning that enables organisms to anticipate events. *Stimulus- an environmental condition that elicits a response. *Pavlov discovered that reflexes can also be learned‚ or conditioned‚ by association. -The

aggression. Therefore to be aggressive a child needs a high sense of self-efficacy since having self belief to do something means a larger chance of it being done. Strengths of the social learning theory include the role of vicarious learning since‚ unlike operant conditioning‚ social learning theory can explain aggression in the absence of direct reinforcement since at no point were children directly rewarded for any action in Bandura’s Bobo Doll study. The second strength is that social learning

The alarm becomes the signal to start the day. Often what happens is that some people condition themselves to awaken at the same time every day without even hearing the alarm. In the late nineteenth century Ivan Pavlov‚ a Russian physiologist‚ was the first to systematically study classical conditioning (Kowalski &

The philosophy of operant conditioning has been demonstrated in many experiments using different types of species such as animals and humans. Operant conditioning refers to the process of reinforcing a response that is made in the company of a stimulus. In today’s life we are pulled and pushed by many events in our environment. We sometimes

response. All behaviour is learnt from the environment. We learn new behaviour through classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is stimulus- response. If a stimulus that results in a emotional response is repeated along with another stimulus which does not cause an emotional response‚ then eventually the second stimulus will result in the same emotional response. Classical conditioning is therefore learning by association. Some assumptions are made on the behaviourism approach‚
