BEHAVIORISM

-focuses on the study of of observable and measurable behavior.

IVAN PAVLOV(1849-1936)

-a russian phisiologist and is well known for his work in classical conditioning or stimulus substitution.

FINDINGS:

*Stimulus Generalization

*Extinction

*Spontaneous Recovery

*Discrimination

EDWARD THORNDIKE (1874-1949)

- connectionism theory gave the original S-R framework of behavioral psychology.

MAIN PRINCIPLE

- that learning could be adequately explain without considering any unobservable internal states.

-Thorndike's theory on connectionism states that learning has taken place when a strong connection between a stimulus and response is formed.

LAW OF EFFECT- states that connection between a stimulus and response is strenghtend when the consequences is positive and the connection between stimulus and the response is weakened when the consequences is negative.

LAW OF EXERCISE- tell as that the more S-R bond is practiced the stronger it will become.

LAW OF READINESS- states that the more readiness the learner has to respond to the stimulus, the stronger will be the bond between them.

PRINCIPLES DERIVED FROM THORNDIKE'S CONNECTIONISM:

Learning requires both practice and rewards.

A series of S-R connections can be chained together if they belong to the same action.

Transfer of learning occurs because of previously encountered situation.

Intelligence is a function of the number tof connections learned.

JOHN WATSON(1878-1958)

- wasthe first american psychologist to work with Pavlov's ideas. Initially involved in animal studies, hen later become involved in human behavior research.

REFLECTION:
Therefore I conclude that there are different theories which discuss about human behaviors including Watson, Thorndike, and Pavlov.There are many theories had prove made by different scientist.
