Behaviour is influenced by the three parts of the mind (i.e tripartite personality)

Behaviour can be explained by mental processes

Behaviour can be explained in terms of Operant Conditioning

Behaviour can be explained in terms of the social learning theory

Behaviour is influenced by early childhood experiences

Modern learning theory

Traditional learning theory

Reinforcement

Observation

Association

Children learn behaviour by just observing role models with whom they identify

Learning takes place through direct reinforcement

Indirect or vicarious reinforcement

Positive reinforcement

Punishment

Mental representations

Observational Learning

Possible rewards and punishment

Consequences of aggressive behaviour

Therapy used to treat Psychotic disorders

Therapy used to treat phobic disoders

Mentally disordered behaviour is caused by the unconscious mind and wishes

Key influence on behaviour is how an individuals thinks about a situation

Mentally disordered behaviour is learned, like any other behaviour

Mentally disordered behaviour has a physical, biological cause such as an imbalance to neurotrasmitters

To learn a new stimulus response association through classical conditioning in order that an undesirable behaviour is suppressed.

To identify and challenge maladaptive thoughts and replace them with constructive, positive thinking that will lead to healthy behaviour

Therapist and patient construct a desensitisation hierarchy which is a series of imagined scenes ranging from least to the most anxiety provoking

Patient is taught some relaxation techniques . Relaxation inhibits anxiety and this is called reciprocal inhibition

Patient moves up the hierarchy, at each step mastering total relaxation

Patient gradually works through the desensitisation hierarchy, each time visualising an anxiety provoking scene and at the same time practising relaxation

Patient eventually masters the most anxiety provoking scene and thus overcomes their phobia

Modelling

Counterconditioning

Patient watches someone else dealing with feared object and practices relaxation

The feared object is imagined using pictures or thought

No hierarchy is developed, the patient is simply presented with their feared object

Fears are directly confronted

Feared object is imagined using pictures or thought

No therapist is required

No hierarchy is developed, the patient is simply presented with their feared stimulus

Best way to study casual relationships because extraneous variables can be carefully controlled

A true insight into behaviour can be obtained
