39
Q

diff between conditioning (classical n operating) and social learning

A

conditioning considers learning in terms of stimuli n response

social learning argues that mental activity (thoughts/expectations) is what makes humans diff from rats, so we need to think more complexly about the issue

quantitative

50

A

they don’t offer a complete explanation of behavior, such as the onset of new skills/creativity

52
Q

seek to identify actual locations n functions within the brain related to diff types of cognitive activity

Q

bioecological approach

A

perspective suggesting that 5 levels of the environment simultaneously influence individuals
