8. Behavioral Child Development Theories
According to the behavioral perspective, all human behavior can be described in
terms of environmental influences. Some behaviorists, such as John B. Watson and
B.F. Skinner, insisted that learning occurs purely through processes of association
and reinforcement.
Behavioral theories of child development focus on how environmental interaction
influences behavior and is based on the theories of theorists such as John B.
Watson, Ivan Pavlov, and B. F. Skinner. These theories deal only with observable
behaviors. Development is considered a reaction to rewards, punishments, stimuli,
and reinforcement.
