- OUTLINE THE BEHAVIOURIST APPROACH
- all behaviour is acquired and maintained through classical and operant conditioning without the need to consider thoughts and feelings
- conditioning means learning
- CLASSICAL CONDITIONING: NS is constantly paired with UCS so it eventually takes on properties of this stimulus and produces CR
- UCS = UCR
- NS + UCS = UCR
- overtime NS becomes CS + produces now CR
- NS + UCS = UCR
- involves involuntary behaviours
- UCS = UCR
- CLASSICAL CONDITIONING: NS is constantly paired with UCS so it eventually takes on properties of this stimulus and produces CR
- EXPERIMENTS AND SCHOLARS
- Watson & Rayner - Little Albert experiment
- Bandura - Bobo Doll experiment
- Skinner - Skinners box
- ASSUMPTIONS
- objects vagueness of introspection so focuses on observable events instead
- only behaviour that can be objectively measured and observed is studied
- objects vagueness of introspection so focuses on observable events instead
- we are born blank slates and all behaviour is learnt from experience (empiricism)
- tabula rasa
- basic laws of learning apply to both human and non-humans (universal)
- valid to replace humans with animals in experiments
- Skinner's Box experiment
- valid to replace humans with animals in experiments
- basic laws of learning apply to both human and non-humans (universal)

- Skinner's Box experiment
- valid to replace humans with animals in experiments
- positive reinforcement
- REINFORCEMENT
- negative reinforcement
- removing something unpleasant and so restore organism to pre-aversive state
- negative reinforcement
- when behaviour produce a consequence thats satisfying / pleasant
- REINFORCEMENT
- unpleasant consequence following a behaviour
- behaviour less likely to occur again
- PUNISHMENT
