be·hav·iour·ism in AM, use behaviorism Behaviourism is the belief held by some psychologists that the only valid method of studying the psychology of people or animals is to observe how they behave. + behaviourist behaviourists be·hav·iour·ist Animal behaviourists have been studying these monkeys for decades. the belief that the scientific study of the mind should be based only on people's behaviour, not on what they say about their thoughts and feelings. Highly influential academic school of psychology that dominated psychological theory in the U.S. between World War I and World War II. Classical behaviourism concerned itself exclusively with the objective evidence of behaviour (measured responses to stimuli) and excluded ideas, emotions, and inner mental experience (see conditioning). It emerged in the 1920s from the work of John B. Watson (who borrowed from Ivan Pavlov) and was developed in subsequent decades by Clark L. Hull and B.F. Skinner. Through the work of Edward C. Tolman, strict behaviourist doctrines began to be supplemented or replaced by those admitting such variables as reported mental states and differences in perception. A natural outgrowth of behaviourist theory was behaviour therapy
a psychological theory that limits the scope of psychology to the scientific study of publicly observable behaviors and their causes while rejecting any explanations that refer to interior mental states or processes
an approach to psychology focusing on behavior, denying any independent significance for mind and assuming that behavior is determined by the environment
a theoretical outlook that emphasizes the role of environment and learning biofeedback a treatment method using monitoring instruments to "feed back" to patients physiological information they can learn to use to control what are usually involuntary bodily processes
A school or system of psychology associated with the name of John B Watson; it defined psychology as the study of behavior and limited the data of psychology to observable activities In its classical form it was more restrictive than the contemporary behavioral viewpoint in psychology
An approach to psychology that emphasizes casting theories in terms of external behavior rather than discussing the internal mechanisms responsible for the behavior (Anderson)
School of psychology that studies observable and measurable behavior of animals and humans Behaviorism views and attempts to define psychology as an empirical science, free of subjective judgment The most influential school of psychology from 1910 to the 1970's, it introduced specific empirical research methods to the world of psychology Behavior, according to behaviorism, is studied in terms of "conditioned" responses to environmental stimuli and "subjective" phenomena such as, but not limited to, intention, emotion, and thought
An approach that emphasizes the study of objectively observable behavior rather than inner mental experiences Behaviorism emphasizes the the role of environment as the cause of behavior From our environment, we learn to do certain behaviors and learn not to do others Sometimes called learning theory
the contemporary American philosophy which abandons the concepts of mind and consciousness and restricts both animal and human psychology to the study of behavior; an ethical system by which ethical behavior is predetermined by either genetic or conditional factors
The view that psychology should, or must, confine itself to describing observable physical behavior Analytic behaviorism expresses this view as a view about the meaning of psychological words (i e that all such words can, and are implicitly, definable in terms of observable human behavior) B F Skinner, the Harvard psychologist (Verbal Behavior, Walden Two, etc ) is a psychological behaviorist Gilbert Ryle might be considered an analytic behaviorist
A branch of psychology that bases its observations and conclusions on definable and measurable behavior and on experimental methods, rather than on concept of "mind "
theory that belittles the importance of consciousness as a concern for controlling or predicting a persons actions What can be observed is sufficient to understand human action
Follows the traditions of Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike, and Skinner by viewing behavior as a result of stimulus-response (See Moore & Kearsley (1996) p 204, for implications to distance education)
The school of psychology founded on the premise that behavior is measurable and can be changed through the application of various behavioral principles
For a behaviorist, mental states are to be understood in terms of specific behaviors To be in pain, for example, means to behave as if one is in pain Although there is a wide variety of behaviorist theories, they all attempt to avoid talk about mental states favor of talk about behavior, which is publicly observable
A theory suggesting that learning occurs when an environmental stimulus triggers a response or behavior Based on classical conditioning theory, behaviorism applies to educational practices that reward performance behaviors to encourage repetition of those behaviors Rote memorization and drill-and-practice instruction are supported by behaviorist theory
Belief that learning results in a change in the learner's behavior The focus of behaviorists is on the outputs of the learning process The study of learning only through the examination and analysis of objectively observable and quantifiable behavioral events, in contrast with subjective mental states
