The document compares three approaches to learning: Behaviorist, Cognitive, and Humanistic. The Behaviorist approach focuses on conditioning behavior through rewards and punishments. The Cognitive approach focuses on developing intelligence and critical thinking skills. The Humanistic approach focuses on the whole child and environmental influences. Behaviorism traces its roots to philosophers like Aristotle and Locke, while Cognitive psychology examines the roles of environment and innate characteristics. Humanistic psychology stresses self-awareness and was not initially recognized by traditional psychologists.
