What is the behavioural approach?
The behavioural approach is a way of explaining behaviour in terms of what is observed in terms of learning.
General assumptions of the behavioural model
-focused on behaviour being measured and learnt
-all behaviour is learnt and involves the same processes for animals and humans eg classical and operant conditioning
-Watson (a behaviourist) redjected introspection (suggested by Wundt) because it was too vague and difficult to measure.
-behaviourism maintains more control and objectivity within research and relies on laboratory experiments.
What is classical conditioning?
Classical conditioning is learning by association. A neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus alone will eventually produce the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.
