♥SUMMARY OF COGNITIVE APPROACH♥

The cognitive approach applies a nomothetic approach to discover human cognitive processes, but have also adopted idiographic techniques through using case studies (e.g. KF, HM).

BEHAVIORIST APPROACH

1) What is Behaviorist Approach ?
 its including genetics and brain chemistry, are de-emphasized in favor of environmental factors.
2) What is learning ?
Learning psychology is the theory behind research-based strategies used to design teaching materials and deliver instruction to students of different ages, learning styles and other characteristics. Understanding how people learn provides the basic framework for creating teaching and learning practices.
3) what are the two kinds of learning ?
    
  and their differences ?  
4) What is Behaviorism ?
Behaviorism holds that only observable behaviors should be studied, as cognition and mood are too subjective. According to behaviorist theory, our responses to environmental stimuli shapes our behaviors. Important concepts such as classical.
5) What is parsimony ?
The principle of parsimony is defined as "a scientific rule that states that if there exists two answers to a problem or a question, and if, for one answer to be true, well-established laws of logic and science must be re-written, ignored, or suspended in order to allow it to be true, and for the other answer to be true no such accommodation need be made, then the simpler of the two answers is much more likely to be correct.
6) What is associationism ?
associationism, theory that all consciousness is the result of the combination, in accordance with the law of association, of certain simple and ultimate elements derived from sense experiences.
 7) Who is Edwin L. Thorndike ?
Edwin L.Thorndike, was an American psychologist, who’s thinking is thoroughly associationistic. He was a functionalist in his emphasis on the utilitarian aspect of psychology.
8) What is the law of effect ? 
The law of effect is a principle of the psychology of learning described by Edward Thorndike (1911): It holds that responses that produce a satisfying or pleasant state of affairs in a particular situation are more likely to occur again in a similar situation.

9) what is response ?
 response is any reaction to stimulus, whether over or mental, for the behaviorist,a measurable change in behavior.
10) what is reflex ?
 reflex is an unlearned response that can be striggered by specific environmental stimuli.

♥SUMMARY OF BEHAVIORIST APPROACH♥


     For me the BEHAVIORIST APPROACH is the study of genetics and brain chemistry.
The behavioral approach is based on the concept of explaining behavior through observation, and the belief that our environment is what causes us to behave differently or suffer illness.

Learning takes place as a result of external experiences or practices. Learning is the change in behavior due to the external experiences or practices. Learning can be modified by enforcements (positive or negative), and happens through directed drill and practice. The learner can give the predicted outcomes to a particular stimulus.
