This document provides biographical information about John Broadus Watson, the founder of behaviorism. It summarizes that Watson grew up poor in South Carolina and received his master's degree from Furman University at age 21. In 1913, he published his behaviorist manifesto arguing that psychology should focus only on observable behaviors. He is best known for his "Little Albert" experiment in 1920 which demonstrated classical conditioning by conditioning an infant to fear a white rat. The document provides context on behaviorism and influences on Watson's work such as Ivan Pavlov.
John B. Watson was an American psychologist who is considered the founder of behaviorism. He believed that human behavior is a result of conditioning through interaction with the environment, rather than internal mental states. Watson conducted controversial experiments, including one known as the "Little Albert" experiment where he conditioned a baby to fear a white rat. The experiment demonstrated that emotions like fear can be classically conditioned. Watson's ideas influenced early childhood education, as practitioners began observing how children respond to stimuli and reinforce behaviors through praise and rewards.
Behaviorism is a psychological theory that focuses on observable behaviors and reactions to stimuli rather than internal mental states. John B. Watson is considered the founder of behaviorism, emphasizing objective observation and believing that behaviors are learned through conditioning. There are two main types of behaviorism: methodological behaviorism influenced by Watson's work, and radical behaviorism pioneered by B.F. Skinner. Behaviorism had a major influence on psychology and believes all behavior is the result of stimulus-response interactions with the environment. A famous experiment by Watson and Rayner was the conditioning of fear in "Little Albert," a 9-month old boy.
- Behaviorism is a theory of learning that states all behaviors are acquired through conditioning in response to environmental stimuli, not innate mental processes. It was founded by John B. Watson based on Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments.
- Watson's famous Little Albert experiment in 1920 demonstrated that emotions like fear could be classically conditioned in humans by pairing a neutral stimulus (a white rat) with an unpleasant stimulus (a loud noise). The child then showed a conditioned fear response to the rat alone.

The document discusses the key assumptions of behaviorism, including that behavior is determined by environmental stimuli and responses, what goes on inside the mind does not matter, all behavior is learned through conditioning or modeling, and the same principles apply across humans and animals. It notes John B. Watson and Ivan Pavlov as founders/forerunners of behaviorism and its focus on observable behaviors over internal mental states.
Behaviorism is a systematic approach to understanding human and animal behavior based on the environment. It focuses on observable behaviors and reactions to stimuli rather than internal mental states. Key behaviorist theorists include Ivan Pavlov, who discovered classical conditioning through his dog experiments; John Watson, who conducted an experiment conditioning a child's fear response and helped establish behaviorism; and B.F. Skinner, who developed the theory of operant conditioning to explain how behaviors are influenced by consequences like rewards and punishments.
Behaviorism is a natural approach to psychology that focuses on observable behavior and environmental influences rather than mental processes. John B. Watson founded behaviorism and believed that human emotion was produced through classical conditioning. He conducted an experiment called "Little Albert" to show that emotional reactions can be conditioned. B.F. Skinner expanded on behaviorism through his concepts of operant conditioning using positive and negative reinforcement and punishment in a controlled chamber called a Skinner box. He believed that behavior is shaped through reinforcement of successive approximations.

John Watson was the founder of behaviorism and believed that psychology could be studied scientifically through observable behavior. He conducted classical conditioning experiments on humans, most famously with Little Albert, demonstrating that emotions could be conditioned through repeated pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus. Watson's theory rejected concepts of mind and consciousness, instead viewing all behavior as learned through stimulus-response associations and conditioning experiences.
John B. Watson proposed the school of behaviorism, which focused on observable and measurable behaviors rather than internal mental states like consciousness. Behaviorism viewed all behaviors as responses to environmental stimuli, as shown through Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments on dogs and John Watson's own experiments conditioning emotional responses in an infant. Watson believed that behaviors could be controlled and shaped entirely by environmental forces through conditioning, without influence from heredity or innate differences. Behaviorism aimed to study psychology through an objective, scientific lens like other natural sciences.
The document discusses the theory of behaviourism and some of its key proponents. Behaviourism argues that behaviour is the only objective thing that can be studied, not internal mental states. Some of the theorists discussed include Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Their work involved classical conditioning experiments with animals and humans to understand learning through stimulus-response associations and reinforcement.
Classical conditioning theory and social learning theorytarravandana
Classical conditioning and social learning theory are two theories of learning. Classical conditioning involves associating an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a response with a neutral stimulus so that the neutral stimulus eventually elicits the same response. Social learning theory proposes that people learn from observing others via attention, retention, and motivation. Bandura's Bobo doll experiment provided evidence that children's aggressive behavior can be influenced by observing and modeling adult behavior.
This document provides an overview of learning concepts including classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. Operant conditioning explains how behaviors are shaped by their consequences, such as reinforcement. Major figures who studied these concepts include Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner. Contemporary views acknowledge cognitive and biological factors in learning. Learning principles have applications in behavior modification, education, sports, and business.
This document discusses different perspectives on learning, including behaviorism and cognitivism. It provides details on several influential theorists within each perspective. For behaviorism, it describes the theories and experiments of Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, John Watson, and B.F. Skinner. It also discusses neo-behaviorism and the social learning theory of Albert Bandura. For cognitivism, it defines the cognitive perspective and outlines Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which explores how human beings construct knowledge through adaptation and equilibration.
Behaviorism is a branch of psychology that focuses on observable and measurable behaviors that can be conditioned through stimuli. It was introduced by Ivan Pavlov and further developed by John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner. Pavlov's experiments with dogs demonstrated classical conditioning by associating a stimulus with food, while Watson performed experiments like Little Albert to prove classical conditioning in humans. Skinner introduced operant conditioning through experiments with rats and pigeons showing that behaviors are influenced by reinforcement and punishment.
The document discusses the behavioral approach to psychology. It focuses on how external stimuli and the environment affect mental states and development, training individuals to exhibit certain behaviors based on their experiences. Behaviorism studies psychology objectively through observation and measurement of behavior, disregarding subjective experiences. All behavior is viewed as conditioned responses to stimuli based on reinforcement or punishment. Examples of influential behaviorism studies discussed include Pavlov's dogs, the Bobo doll experiment, Skinner's box, and the Little Albert experiment. Behavioral techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and applied behavior analysis are used in treatment settings to modify behaviors.
Behaviorism is a school of psychology that focuses on observable behaviors and reactions to stimuli rather than internal mental states. Some key contributors to behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov, who discovered classical conditioning through his experiments with dogs; John B. Watson, who established behaviorism as a scientific approach and conducted experiments on conditioning with infants; and Edward Thorndike, who formulated the law of effect and conducted puzzle box experiments on animal learning. Behaviorism became a dominant approach in psychology from the 1920s through the 1950s and focused on stimulus-response learning through conditioning.
All things should be looked at from the perspective of behaviour.
And it doesn’t matter what is going on in the mind, it just matters what the behaviour
So there is no difference in the behaviourist mind between external behaviour and internal thoughts.

Behaviorism is a learning perspective established in the early 20th century that focuses on observable behaviors and environmental factors rather than internal mental states. Key behaviorist theorists include Watson, Pavlov, Thorndike, Hull, Tolman, and Skinner. Behaviorism explains learning through classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an innate response, and operant conditioning, where consequences influence whether a behavior is repeated. Observational learning also influences behavior as people imitate observed actions. Behaviorism was influential in education by emphasizing pre-planned learning and modifying behaviors but is limited by not accounting for internal thoughts and feelings.
This document summarizes key concepts from learning theory proposed by Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner. It discusses Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments with dogs, in which he paired food with stimuli like lights or bells. This led dogs to salivate in response to the conditioned stimuli alone. Watson applied these principles to humans and conducted an experiment that conditioned a child, Little Albert, to fear a white rat. Skinner proposed operant conditioning, where behavior is reinforced through rewards. He developed the Skinner box to study rat behavior and how their bar pressing increased when rewarded with food pellets. The document provides an overview of the major figures and experiments in the development of learning theory.
This document summarizes the evolution of psychology as a scientific field of study from its philosophical roots to modern perspectives. It describes early schools of thought including structuralism, functionalism, and psychoanalysis. It then discusses behaviorism and major theorists like Watson, Skinner, and Maslow. More recent developments discussed include the return of cognitive psychology, biological and evolutionary perspectives, positive psychology, and the growth of psychology into a thriving science and profession.
The document discusses several major schools of thought in the history of psychology. It describes that structuralism was founded by Wilhelm Wundt who established the first psychology lab in Germany and aimed to identify basic mental elements. This was followed by functionalism led by William James who believed psychology should study the functions of the mind. Behaviorism emerged with John Watson and B.F. Skinner who argued psychology should focus only on observable behavior and learning through consequences.
Behaviorism is a learning theory that focuses on observable behaviors and discounts mental processes. It proposes that learning occurs through conditioning, where behaviors become associated with environmental stimuli through reinforcement or punishment. There are two types of conditioning: classical and operant. Classical conditioning involves associating a reflex with a stimulus, while operant conditioning uses reinforcement to shape behaviors. Prominent behaviorists like Pavlov, Thorndike, Watson, and Skinner conducted experiments and developed theories around behavioral conditioning and its implications for teaching. In classrooms, behaviorism can be applied through operant conditioning techniques like rewarding positive behaviors and punishing negative ones to modify student learning and conduct.
John Watson introduced behaviorism as a new school of psychology focused on objective observation and measurement of behavior. He is known for the Little Albert experiment, where an infant was conditioned to fear a white rat. This study demonstrated that fears can be learned through conditioning. Watson argued that adult fears result from conditioning experiences during childhood. Behaviorism rejected concepts of consciousness and mental processes, defining thinking as implicit behaviors like subvocal speech. Watson's approach popularized psychology and aimed to establish it as a science that could help shape and control behavior. However, his extreme environmentalism and rejection of internal mental processes were criticized by other psychologists.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. What is Behaviorism Theory?
• Behaviorism theory is a psychological theory that
emphasizes observable behaviors over mental processes as
the primary subject of study.
• It suggests that human behavior can be explained by
environmental factors alone and that people’s patterns of
behavior are largely determined by their past experiences.
• Behaviorism also focuses on how certain stimuli or events
can elicit specific responses or behaviors.
• This theory has been used to develop treatments for various
mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders and
addictions, through methods like classical and operant
conditioning.
3. Origin of the Theory
• Happened after World War I
• During the roaring 20’s
• Flapper era
• Large social hierarchy
• During the time where
children should be seen
but not heard
4. “Give me a dozen healthy
infants, well-formed, and my
own specified world to bring
them up in and I’ll guarantee to
take anyone at random and
train him to become any type of
specialist I might select –
doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-
chief and, yes, even beggar-
man and thief, regardless of his
talents, penchants, tendencies,
abilities, vocations, and race of
his ancestors. “
-Famous quote of John B. Watson
5. Aspects of Watson’s theory
• He opposed mentalistic
concepts.
• He used contiguity to
explain learning
• He considered emotion to be just
another example of classical
conditioning.
• He rejected the notion of individual
differences.
6. • One of Watson's most well-known contributions was
the "Little Albert" experiment, which demonstrated
classical conditioning.
• In this study, Watson conditioned a child to fear a
white rat by associating its appearance with a loud
noise.
• This experiment showed that people can learn
emotional responses to previously neutral stimuli
through association.
• Watson also emphasized the importance of
reinforcement in shaping behaviors. He believed that
positive reinforcement increases the likelihood of
repeating desired behaviors, while punishment
decreases it.

The next time Albert was
exposed the rat, Watson
made a loud noise by
hitting a metal pipe with a
hammer.
During Conditioning:
Naturally, the child began to cry
after hearing the loud noise.
After repeatedly pairing the
white rat with the loud noise,
Albert began to cry simply after
seeing the rat.
After Conditioning:
The boy initially showed
no fear of any of the
objects he was shown.

Also gave moral boundaries to experiments
√ Testing on children, cruelty, ethics, etc.
Example: children do something bad, they get
spanked
√ Taught the children to not do anything bad or
they would be punished
