BEHAVIOURISM● Study what you CAN OBSERVE/ MEASURE DIRECTLY= LEAVES OUT anything
that is going inside the brain and body
● Looks at the way psychology interacts with your behaviour, decision making,
consciousness
● THIS CAN ALSO INCLUDE PHYSIOLOGY= can see it directly
Ex: PAVLOV dog experiment=
- Saliva production---> saw that the dog can learn behaviour, through conditioned/
unconditioned stimulus
- CAN YOU UNLEARN SOMETHING= pavlov discussed extinction…
FOCUS ON BEHAVIOUR=
- Only interested in OBJECTIVE PSYCH, what we can OBSERVE----> linked to
conscious
- How different stimuli AFFECT BEHAVIOUR (STIMULI---> RESPONSE)
- Sounds a bit like structuralism, since looking only at the objective, observable
PROBLEM WITH BEHAVIOURISM= overlooking the cognitive
ARE ANIMALS SIMILAR TO HUMANS?= in behaviourism, they look at animals often (so
yes, there are many similarities, but humans have upper level cognition, and higher order
function that animals do not have
- We want to CONDITION BEHAVIOUR!!
- Ex: in the car, the annoying bell to put the seat belt on, is a conditioned/ reminder to out it
on, and the only way to turn it off is to put the seat belt on…
THE CRITIQUE OF BEHAVIORISM= DOES NOT LOOK INTO THE COGNITIVE
ASPECT OF BEHAVIOUR
- THERE IS so much value in behaviorism and cognition together
SKINNER= motivated by wanting pleasure and avoiding pain
