Behavourist And Learning Approach

Question 1

Assumption 1

Answer 1

Behaviour from direct environmental experience

Question 2

Assumption 2

Answer 2

You learn this from observing and imitating other people

Question 3

Strength and weakness

Answer 3

Strength
Very scientific approach to develop theories
This approach has contributed to many technique that help with society
Weakness
Lacks explaining many human behaviour
Our behaviour is complex

Question 4

Conditioned response

Answer 4

The response produced by the conditional stimulus on its own
A new association produced so that the neutral stimulus now produces the unconditional response is now conditional response

Question 5

Conditioned stimulus

Answer 5

A stimulus that only produces the desired response after pairing with unconditional stimulus

Question 6

Neutral stimulus

Answer 6

Any stimulus does not produce the desired response
Becomes a conditional stimulus after being pared with unconditional stimulus

Question 7

Unconditional stimulus

Answer 7

An unlearned response to an unconditional stimulus

Question 8

Unconditional response

Answer 8

Any stimulus that produces response without learning taking place

Question 9

Classical conditional

Answer 9

A form of learning where neutral stimulus is associated with an unconditional stimulus, taking on its own properties so that new stimulus response is learned

Question 10

Operant conditioning

Answer 10

A form of learning that behaviour is maintained or shaped to be better

Question 11

Reinforcement

Answer 11

A behaviour followed by consequence which will occur again

Question 12

Positive reinforcement

Answer 12

Behaviour followed by something pleasant

Question 13

Negative reinforcement

Answer 13

Behaviour followed by removing something unpleasant

Question 14

Punishment

Answer 14

Consequence to a behaviour if unpleasant less likely to occur again

Question 15

Positive punishment

Answer 15

Behaviour followed by something unpleasant

Question 16

Negative punishment

Answer 16

Removing something unpleasant

Question 17

Motivation

Answer 17

To behave in a certain way to achieves goals and satisfies needs

Question 18

Extrinsic motivation

Answer 18

Engaging in behaviour to gain an external reward and avoid external punishment
Often behave in a way to get a reward or avoid punishment
According to behaviourist behaviour tends to occur more when gaining reward
We can be extrinsically motivated when others are being rewarded

Question 19

Intrinsic motivation

Answer 19

Engaging with behaviour to gain internal reward such as pleasure
You doing something for its own benefit
Intrinsic motivation is given by source you enjoy

Question 20

Self determination theory

Answer 20

One side of this theory is entirely intrinsic example you might to an essay as u enjoy doing it
At the other side extrinsic behaviour is entirely self determination example when u write an essay to get a reward

Question 21

Strength and weakness

Answer 21

Strength
This model shows intrinsic motivation has a biological bias on the brain
Weakness
This shows to focus on two types of motivation and not give a complete picture of behaviourist

Question 22

Modelling

Answer 22

Eithier an observer imititating the behavior of a model
Model demonstrate a behaviour that may be imitated by an observer

Question 23

Social learning

Answer 23

Form of learning
Behaviour acquired through observation and imitation and vicarious reinforcement

Question 24

Vicarious reinforcement

Answer 24

Behaviour limited if the learner motivated to do so
If observer sees a model performing an action and being reinforced thus makes me it likely for observer to repeat action

Question 25

Imitation

Answer 25

Observer may imitate model
More likely for observer to identifies model

Question 26

Strength and weakness

Answer 26

Strength
Supports view that behaviour is through observation and imitation
Weakness
SLT is not a complete explanation
