"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors."
--John Watson, Behaviorism, 1930

Behaviorism definition

tacimila — 2014-08-20 04:57:01 UTC

Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shape our behaviors.

The term behaviorism refers

to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson based on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism was established with the publication of Watson's classic paper "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It" (1913).

natural approach

tacimila — 2014-08-21 04:52:36 UTC

The natural approach is one of the, "language teaching methods based on observation and interpretation of how learners acquire both first and second languages in nonformal settings." (Richards & Rodgers 2001: 190) Krashen and Terrell saw the approach as a, "traditional approach to language teaching [because it is] based on the use of language in communicative situations without recourse to the native language." (Richards & Rodgers 2001: 178) The approach focuses on input, comprehension, and meaningful communication and puts less emphasis on grammar, teacher monologues, direct repetition and accuracy.

Cognitivism X Behaviorism

2014-08-21 06:43:00 UTC

People don’t respond only to environmental stimuli, they also need active participation (actions: consequence of thinking) to evolve knowledge.

Cognitivism

tacimila — 2014-08-21 07:42:27 UTC

Cognitivism concept involves many things such as memory, examining learning and intelligence. To understand the processes of learning, the theorists study the cultural aspects of one’s life, learning throughout childhood, language development, etc. http://teachinglearningresources.pbworks.com/w/page/31012664/Cognitivism

To develop

understanding is important to have tools and lots of manipulative things; also asking many questions. Failure is a good thing because it makes the students see what they need to improve, and it’s possible to learn from it. http://innovativelearning.com/educational_psychology/cognitivism/index.htm
