Behaviorist Approach Viewing behavior as the product of learning and associations ◦B.F. Skinner ◦John B. Watson ◦Ivan Pavlov Advantages ◦Observable, measurable & scientific ◦Many experiments to support founding Disadvantages ◦Takes away “free will” & Ignores biology

Behaviorism Ivan Pavlov, Russian experimenter who showed automatic/involuntary behavior in learned responses to specific stimuli in the environment. Created “Classical Conditioning.”

Behaviorism John Watson, Psychology can never be as objective as chemistry or biology. Consciousness is not that easy. “I can take a child and make him into anything, a beggar, a doctor, a thief.”

Behaviorism B.F. Skinner, 1950’s. Dismissed importance of inherited traits and instincts about human behavior Believed that all behavior is a result of rewards and punishments in the past.
