Document Summary
Founded by john b. watson, 1913: psychology is science of behaviour, focus on relationship between stimulus and response. B. f. skinner: thoughts irrelevant to science of behaviour, we should share what people do, not what they think, research on animals important for revealing laws, things should be measureable if it is to be called science. Procedure: pair neutral stimulus with significant stimulus to induce outcome, neutral stimulus alone then induces outcome. Pavlov: dogs + food + bell: food = unconditioned stimulus, salivation = unconditioned stimulus, bell = conditioned stimulus. Subject operates on environment and is rewarded (reinforced) or punished. Whether behaviour occurs depends on our expectancies and how much we value the outcomes. Modeling: children develop behaviours through watching models. The more respected the model, the stronger the behaviour. If celebrities commit crimes with no punishment, people believe their behaviours aren"t that bad. Groups exposed to aggressive versus nonaggressive adult models.
