- Behaviourist assumptions (Eduqas)
- Humans are born like blank slates
- All behaviour is learnt from interactions with our environment.
- Not born with mental content therefore thinking and emotion doesn't drive behavior
- Ignores genetics, physiology and evolution
- NURTURE
- environmental Determinism
- Our behaviour is determined by the environment we grew up in
- Assosiations made early on in life eg dentist=pain and early rewards or punishments heavily influence how we interact with people in later life

- Our behaviour is determined by the environment we grew up in
- Behaviour is learned through conditioning
- Classical conditioning
- Behaviour is learnt through assosiations
- UCS =UCR UCS+N=UCR CS=CR
- The neutral stimulus initially causes no fear, the unconditioned stimulus causes a fear response. By associating the neutral stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus a conditioned response of fear occurs from the neutral stimulus which is now classed as the conditioned stimulus

- Operant conditioning
- Behaviour is learnt through reinforcement
- Positive reinforcement
- Positive reinforcement was used by B.F Skinner in the conditioning of a rat. If the rat pulled a lever it would be rewarded with food therefore this behaviour was reinforced due to the reward of food
- If something pleasant is gained out of doing the behavior

- Negative reinforcement
- Behaviour is reinforced by getting rid of something unpleasant e.g completing homework avoids the unpleasant detention
- Classical conditioning
- Humans learn in the same way as animals
- Laws of learning are the same for animals and humans
- Therefore we can make generalisation about human behaviour from animal lab studies
- E.g Pavlovs dogs to show classical conditioning
- Conditioned to salivate whenever a bell was rang due to the built up association with food

- Same principles used in therapies for phobias e.g systematic desensitisation
- New association made with the feared thing
- Laws of learning are the same for animals and humans
- Relationship formation
- Operant conditioning
- Positive reinforcement - If we receive compliments whilst in a relationship we will continue to spend time with them
- Negative reinforcement - By being in a relationship it can avoid feelings of loneliness.
- Punishment - If not in a relationship we might be nagged or receive nasty comments therefore we will want to get into a relationship to avoid this 'punihment'

- Classical conditioning
- Will might associate pleasant feelings and happiness with a particular person or with the whole relationship itself if met in a place that brings happiness
- E.g if you met someone whilst out dancing you may associate the fun and excitement of your surroundings with that person therefore enticing you into a relationship with them
