2 Behaviourism The Learning Approach

3 Key Ideas abula rasa – born with a blank slate and the capacity to learn bservable – focus on “the seen” rather than “the unseen” xperience – all behaviour is learnt through experience cientific – explore best with careful observation and measurement

4 Learning Methods So how do we learn?
According to the behaviourist perspective there are three main ways…

5 1. Classical Conditioning
Learning by Association Pavlov: “So there I was looking at dogs’ digestive system…” Watson: 1878 – 1958 “Give me a dozen healthy infants…”

6 How does CC work?

7 Does CC work in humans? Room-mate experiment at university
Little Albert

8 2. Operant Conditioning Learning through consequences
B. F. Skinner: 1904 – 1990 “The more we reinforce a behaviour…” Pigeon Ping Pong “Roll Over!”

9 How does OC work? Reinforcement increases the frequency of a behaviour
Punishment decreases the frequency of a behaviour TASK: Mini-experiment in pairs

10 3. Social Learning Theory
Learning through observation and imitation Bandura: 1953 – present “I’m afraid the Bobo doll experiment will be my legacy…”

11 How does SLT work? You learn not only because you have been rewarded but also because you see someone else rewarded and store this memory for future reference TASK: Mini-experiment Ballet

12 Study overview 1. Classical Conditioning - Learn by association
Pavlov’s dogs (animals) Watson and Raynor’s Little Albert (human) 2. Operant Conditioning – Learn through consequences Skinner’s rat/pigeon experiment 3. Social Learning Theory – Learn through observation and imitation Bandura’s Bobo doll experiment 12

13 Homework Assignment Find real-life examples of behaviourism
Animal trick Advertising TV programmes For each example provide an explanation of the learning going on

14 Exit Card Without writing your name on the card answer the following questions: What is TOES? What are the 3 ways of learning? How was class behaviour being shaped today? What 3 values were being reinforced? What is the most interesting thing you learned today?
