- Operant conditioning
- Social Learning Theory
- Classical conditioning
12. The behaviourist approach is scientific?
13. What is a limitation of the behaviourist perspective?
- Social studies often have restricted samples and therefore it can lack generalizability
- It has high reliability
- There is low ecologcal validity
- Understanding what types of characteristics are likely to cause negative of positive behaviours can help us to encourage or discourage those traits
14. What is negative reinforcement?
- a response or behaviour is strengthened by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome.
- a response or behaviour is weakened by stopping, removing, or avoiding a negative outcome
