Behavioral School of Thought

This is the second school of thought of learning, which is Behavioral.

Behaviorism is a learning theory that only focuses on objectively observable behaviors and discounts any independent activities of the mind. Behavior theorists define learning as nothing more than the acquisition of new behavior based on environmental conditions.

As per usual, have your daily doses of informational video first!

 

 I guess we have learned a bit from Teacher Tony, right? On how he used behavioral learning for his class management? The way the students changed after he introduced that learning? So it is imperative to know that certain ways of learning can have different effects both on the learners and the teacher.

But, that's not it! Let's explore a bit more on this interesting topic.

 

Behavioral learning can be identified by these two theorist. Ivan Pavlov from Russia and B.F.Skinner from USA. Both of these men have been tremendous in coming out with their own behavioral theories, which were Classical Conditioning (Pavlovian) or Instrumental Conditiong (Skinnerian).

 

This is an experiment done by B.F.Skinner to prove his theory on Instrumental Conditioning. 

 

And this is Ivan Pavlov's view on his take about behavioral. His infamous Classical Conditioning theory.

  

To understand things better, we can refer at the picture below depicting the differences between both of these two theories. Thank me later!
