- Behaviourism
- Assumptions
- All behaviour is learnt from the environment
- Extreme nurture
- Born in "blank state"
- Deterministic
- Behaviour is learnt through stimulus response association
- or as a result of reinforcement
- Psychology is scientific and should be objective
- Study of observable behaviour
- Internal mental processes can't be directly observed
- Against cognitive view
- Internal mental processes can't be directly observed
- Valid to generalise from animal behaviour
- All behaviour is learnt from the environment
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- Scientific
- Enhances credibility of psychology as a scientific discipline
- Has practical applications
- Treatment of phobias
- Rewarding in education
- Strong view fro nutrue side of debate
- Evidence for environment impacting out behaviour
- Scientific
- Weaknesses
- Against cognitive view
- Views humans as passive learners at the mercy of the environment
- Humans can't influence or control their own development
- Deterministic
- Hard to generalise from animal behaviour
- we are more complex than animals
- Ignores other factors that influence behavious
- eg Mental processes
- Strengths
- Conditioning
- Operant
- Learning new behaviours through consequences of the past
- Reinforcement
- A consequence that strengthens behaviour
- Repitition of behavious is more likely
- A consequence that strengthens behaviour
- Punishment
- A consequence that weakens behaviour
- Repitition of behaviour is less likely
- A consequence that weakens behaviour
- Reinforcement
- Skinner
- Rats pulling a lever
- Reward = food
- Rats pulling a lever
- Learning new behaviours through consequences of the past

- Learning through association of stimuli
- Existing stimulus response
