- Learning Theory;
- Classical Conditioning:
- Stimulus, Response & Association
- Stimulus, Response & Association
- Operant Conditioning:
- Rewards, reinforcements & Punishment
- Rewards, reinforcements & Punishment
- A02
- Learning theory suggests that reinforcements make behaviours reoccur and
punishment reduce behaviour from happening. However this is contradicted by
attachments children have with cruel parents
- Learning theory is too reductionist as it reduces human behaviour to stimulus,
response and reinforcemnts. However the human behaviour is more complec
than this
- Learning theory predicts if reinforcements go away the
behaviour will disappear too, however this is not the case
as absence only strengthens attachment
- Learning theory predicts that attachment will be with the person who
provides the most drive reduction, however Harlow's research contradicts
this, since Harlow's monkey only spent 2 of the 24hours with the food wire
mother. Therefore we mainly attach for comfort& security which outweighs
the need for food
