Behaviorism

Stimulus Response
Little to no value given to thought
processes
Significant value
given to behavior
and actions

John B. Watson
Desired to study only what was observable (behaviors).
Emotions and behaviors learned in the same way as skills or tasks.
Influenced by earlier experiments in classical conditioning. (Pavlov)
![Page 7: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
B.F. Skinner
Built on ideas of Watson; theories came to be known as hyper-behaviorism
Advocated using observable behavior to study all aspects of human thought and action
Profound effect on education and learning theory
Focused on reinforcement
![Page 8: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Behaviorism in Education
Passive learning Rote learning Positive reinforcement
A change in behavior indicates learning
![Page 9: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Research Examples
Miranda (2009) Using behaviorist
educational strategies to foster success in community college classes
DeMartino (1999) Instructional
design models and learning models for education (including non k-12) draw upon behaviorist theories (as well as constructivist and cognitive)
![Page 10: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conclusions
Varying views on whether behaviorism opposes cognitive psychology and constructivism.
Some researchers and practitioners see resurgence of behaviorist strategies in education.
Studies examining behaviors often account for the basic stimulus/response pattern

Cognitive Psychology
![Page 12: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Defining Cognitive Psychology
Ulric Neisser’s 1967 definition: “Cognitive psychology refers to all processes by which the sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used.”
Often referred to as: human information processing Cognitive psychology has had major influences on:
Educational psychology Social psychology Applied psychology

The Roots of Cognitive Psychology
Has roots in philosophy and physiology, which both seek to understand the human mind.
Plato and Aristotle have affected modern thinking in psychology.
They disagreed on how to investigate ideas. Plato was a rationalist . “The route to knowledge is
through logical analysis.” Aristotle was an empiricist. “We acquire knowledge via
empirical evidence – experience and observation.”
By the 1970’s, it was a major field of psychology with a set of distinctive research method.

Goals of Research in Cognitive Psychology
Observe behavior to make inferences about underlying explanations of behavior (thought, language, meaning, and imagery)
Seek formal explanations to the nature and function of mental processes
Seek a more complex explanation than stimulus response (behaviorist)
Bruning, Schraw, Norby, and Ronning, 2004
![Page 15: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Research Methods in Cognitive Psychology
Laboratory/controlled experiments Psychobiological research Self-reports Case studies Naturalistic observations Computer simulations and artificial
intelligence

Cognitive Psychology: Noam Chomsky
1960’s Our understanding of language is constrained
not so much by what we have heard, but rather, by an innate language acquisition device (LAD) that all humans possess. (Nature)
He emphasizes a more “rationalistic” technique He and other linguists demonstrated that
language acquisition was more a complex process than what behaviorism accounts for.

Cognitive Psychology: Herbert A. Simon
Professor of computer science and psychology at Carnegie-Mellon University.
1972: (Pioneer with Allen Newell) Proposed a detailed models of human thinking and problem solving from the most basic levels to the most complex. Constructed and tested computer models that
simulated human thought. Major advocate of thinking-aloud protocols as a
means of studying cognitive processing.Sternberg, R. J. (2009). Cognitive Psychology. Belmont, CA:
Wadsworth.

Main concepts
Schema are mental frameworks for information (Simon)
Levels of processing: memory is a by-product of processing type: Encoding and retrieval
Constructive memory: created by learners as they confront new situations
Social influences: motivation, self awareness
Bruning, Schraw, Norby, and Ronning, 2004
![Page 19: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Themes for education
Learning is constructive Mental frameworks organize memory: schema,
concepts, scripts Extended practice is needed to develop cognitive
skills Metacognition: self reflective and directed
learners Motivation and beliefs are important Social interaction is fundamental
Bruning, Schraw, Norby, and Ronning, 2004
![Page 20: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Useful Theories in EducationCognitive Load
Theory: Learning is constrained by limited processing capacity
George Miller (1956): Magic Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two about what makes it from short to long term memory
![Page 21: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
More Theories
Bandura’s Social Cognitive Learning Theory (1997):
Learning is the result of interacting variables: personal, behavioral, and environmental. Example: Self-efficacy, outcome expectancy
Attribution Theory: how individuals explain events in their lives and why they respond differently
Self Regulated Learning Theory:
ability to control all aspects of one’s learning from advance planning to performance evaluation (Pintrich, 2000; Schunk & Zimmerman, 1994; Winne, 1995).

Social Cognition
Based on Lev Vygotsky’s Mind in Society (1978): Zone of Proximal Development. Children are apprenctices in thinking. Information processing alone does not account for cognitive development.

Definitions
According to Allport (1985), social psychology is a discipline that uses scientific methods to understand and explain how the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of other human beings.
![Page 25: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
An Intersection
Social Psychology lies at the intersection of Psychology and Sociology
Psychology- social psychologists are trained in the rigorous experimental methods of psychology
Sociology- social psychologists share a sociological focus on the behavior of the groups, interactions and exchanges, as well as the individual/group in the larger context of social structures and processes.
![Page 26: Psychological Perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56813e40550346895da8276d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Intersection cont’d
Psychological Social Psychology A more positivist approach Concrete• Sociological Social Psychology
• A more constructivist approach, looks at societal constructions like family, parenthood etc., within a specific time frame or historical dimension
• Sees institutions like family or parenthood as constantly changing, therefore it has a more fluid approach to methodology

What Theories are Referenced in I-O Psychology ?
Needs Theory (Atkinson & McClelland) – motivation is driven by the strength of intrinsic needs: achievement, affiliation, autonomy, and dominance
Expectancy Theory (Vroom) – motivation is a combination of perceived attractiveness of future outcomes and the likelihood that one’s actions will lead to the outcome

Equity Theory (Adams) – how individuals compare their ratio of inputs and outcomes relative to the same ratio comparison of others and hence make predictions about how people will react to overrewarded or underrewarded situations
