START-OFF TASK:
Group Activity:
1. Discuss the assigned Behaviorist/ Neo Behaviorist.
- name of the THEORY (if any)
- significant EXPERIMENT ON ANIMAL OR HUMAN
2. Determine the important contributions (CONCEPTS,
PRINCIPLES, IMPLICATIONS, ETC. ) in the field of education.
3. Present your notes through board work or manila paper in
class.
BEHAVIORISTS AND NEO BEHAVIORISTS
1. Ivan Pavlov
2. John Watson
3. Edward Lee Thorndike
4. BF Skinner
5. Edward Tolman
6. Albert Bandura
BEHAVIORISM
- study of observable and measurable behaviors
- behavior is mostly learned through conditioning and
reinforcements (rewards and punishment)
BEHAVIORISM
Primary Laws:
Law of Effect - Reinforcement
Law of Exercise - Shaping of Behavior
Law of Readiness
IVAN PAVLOV
- classical conditioning or
stimulus substitution
IVAN PAVLOV’S EXPERIMENT
IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF PAVLOV
Stimulus Generalization
- once the dog has learned to salivate at the sound of the
bell, it will salivate at other similar sounds
IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF PAVLOV
Extinction
- if you stop pairing the bell with the food, salivation will
eventually cease in response to the bell
IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF PAVLOV
Spontaneous Recovery
- extinguished responses can be “recovered” after an
elapsed time, but will soon extinguish again if the dog is
not presented with food
IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF PAVLOV
Discrimination
- the dog could learn to discriminate between similar bells
(stimuli) and discern which bell would result in the
presentation of food and which would not
IMPORTANT FINDINGS OF PAVLOV
Higher – Order Conditioning
- once the dog has been conditioned to associate the bell
with food, another unconditioned stimulus, such as a light
may be flashed at the same time that the bell is rung.
Eventually the dog will salivate at the flash of the light
without the sound of the bell
JOHN B. WATSON
- humans are born with a few
reflexes and the emotional reactions
of love and rage
- all other behaviors are learned the
S-R associations through conditioning
JOHN B. WATSON’S LITTLE ALBERT EXPERIMENT
- generalization
- “extinguished” behaviors, “unlearning”
EDWARD L. THORNDIKE’S CONNECTIONISM
THEORY
- S-R framework of behavioral psychology
- Educational Psychology
- learning is the result of associations forming
between stimuli (S) and response (R)
- such associations or “habits” become
strengthened or weakened by the nature and
frequency of the S-R pairings
EDWARD L. THORNDIKE’S EXPERIMENT
EDWARD L. THORNDIKE’S CONNECTIONISM
THEORY
- trial and error learning: responses are repeated more
than others because of rewards
-Goal-Directedness -Principles
-Cognitive Maps -Modeling
-Latent Learning -Four Conditions for Effective
-Intervening Variables Modeling
NEO BEHAVIORISM
