UPS Exam: Section A Part 1

Behaviourism is

• observing how behaviour changes through the use of classical and operant conditioning. Can predict and contril behaviour.

• Behaviour is a choice. People have free will. Positive Regard can help encourage positive behaviour.

• how the unconcious mind affects behaviour. The conflict between the phsye- ID, Ego and Superego is what drives behaviour.

•  It is ‘the mental act or process by which knowledge is acquired.’ 

  Study topics such as memory, learning, thinking, attention and language.

  Behaviour can be explained in terms of how the mind operates.

  
  

Cognitive Theory is

Name the two types of conditioning

• Pavlov and Skinner

• Classical and Behaviourism

• Classical and Operant

• Positive and Negative reinforcement

What is classical conditioning?

Answer explanation

Classical conditioning is learning through association. A new stimuli is added (e.g. a bell) and this changes behaviour.

What is Operant conditioning?

Answer explanation

Operant conditioning is learning through consequences.

The use of reawards and punishments.

The Experiments of Pavlov (dogs) and Watson and Rayner (Little Abert)

• Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning

The Experiments of Thorndike (cats and maze) and B. F. Skinner (mice)
