What is the history of studying children? Think major events/ people and what the perspective
was - answer✔Medieval= kids not treated with care/ high mortality rate
1700/Enlightenment = theorists argued NATURE. (Everything is PREDETERMINED).
-Locke= "Tabula Rasa" = blank slate => kids can be shaped
18th Century= Darwin = "survival of the fittest", natural selection, survival value passed on
19th Century= Industrial Age(factories)/ child labor laws begin
1920-1960's = modern behaviorists argue NURTURE. (everything can be MANIPULATED)
Now= not one or the other, but rather HOW MUCH of each
Be able to use your understanding of the basic issues to apply to these theoretical perspectives
(e.g., are J.B. Watson's ideas more nature or nurture?). - answer✔1. BEHAVIORAL
THEORIES:
-focus on *external*
I- Classical Conditioning (Pavlov) = involuntary learning, pair stimuli together (ex-baby,
animal, noise)
II- Environmental Bias: the environment matters more than genetics (monkey see, monkey do)
-environment = choice, genetic = no control
III- Operant Conditioning: (BF Skinner)- REINFORCEMENT increases likelihood of behavior,
positive reinforcement
-(ex- chocolate/Big Bang Theory, *potty training)
IV. Learning Perspectives: (Bandura) = Social Learning theory = kids imitate behavior to learn
-(ex: Big Daddy)
2. COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE:
-emphasis on *internal* systems of growth
I- (Piaget) = "schema" -> what is a "dog"?
