- No genetic influence; solely environment
- Born as blank slate; learning through experience
- Classical conditioning
- CS -> CR
- UCS + NS = UCR
- NS -> no response
- UCS -> UCR
- UCS + NS = UCR
- Pavlov / Watson and Rayner
- CS -> CR
- Operant conditioning
- Positive reinforcement; positive consequences that want a behaviour to reoccur
- Negative reinforcement; avoidance of negative consequences makes behaviour reoccur
- Punishment; negative consequences that want a behaviour to stop
- Skinner's rats; food as positive reinforcement; electric floor as punishment; avoidance of floor as negative reinforcement
- Evaluation
- Comparative psych - different cognition and behsviour
- PA - token economies and therapies (SD, flooding); used in prisons to fix behaviour
- Environmentaldeterminism - completely ignores free will
- Lab experiments; high control, standardised procedures
- Ignores complex and spontanrous behaviour (can't explain it)
