Behaviorism Behaviorism is a psychological approach that combines the elements of theory, philosophy and methodology. Behaviorism refers to that school of psychology that was founded by Watson. It was basically based on the assumption or belief that it is possible to change, train and measure behaviors (Drisoll, 2000). Behaviorism is a psychological school of thought that was established when Watson published his classic paper "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It" (1913). The terms behaviorism
Classical Conditioning In this paper, Classical Conditioning is explored by first giving a general definition along with the general phases of basic classical conditioning. Then, more insight is given about the developers of this learning process and their experiments: Ivan Pavlov and his dog experiment and John B. Watson and Little Albert experiment. Finally, real-world applications of this learning process are introduced such as how to treat phobias, addictions and achieve good classroom behavior
Behaviorism Watson’s school of thought Watson formed the idea of behaviorism which later became the whole branch of psychology. He concentrated in studying biology, physiology and the behaviors of animals, a work which he was inspired by the recent work of his fore runner in the same field called Ivan Pavlov (WGBH, 1998). He studied children behaviors and later on noted that human beings were a bit complex
Classical Conditioning Behaviorism Classical conditioning is a type of learning through which an organism learns to associate one stimulus with another. It can also be known as respondent conditioning. The stimulus is any event or object in the environment to which an organism responds. The components of classical conditioning are as follows: Unconditioned response (UR) which is a response that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus without prior learning. Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

Cognitive development is the study of the mind and brain functions, which makes up our ability to think, perceive, and make decisions. It is also related to other fields like neuroscience, philosophy and linguistic. There is a thin line between cognitive psychology and cognitive science. As earlier defined, cognitive psychology is the study of the mind and its functions. Cognitive science is gathering of information

from poverty on a remote farm in Greenville, and reach prosperity as a famous scholar whose work was applauded by fellow scholars worldwide. John B. Watson made many contributions to the study of psychology. Especially with his behaviorism school of thought which later became an entire branch of psychology. Watson defined behaviorism as “a natural science approach to psychology that focuses on the study of environmental influences on observable behavior.” (Powell, Symbaluk & Honey, 2008. p. 14)
psychology there are many different perspectives that are employed. In this paper, this student will identify a few influential psychologists that paved the road for modern psychology. John B. Watson was a pioneering figure in the development of the psychological school of behaviorism. Watson was one of the early American psychologists to break Freudian notions that our unconscious mind was behind most of our behavior (Watson E. 1999). Behaviorism according to Watson was the science of observable behavior
information and new learning has progressed significantly. The school and other educational institutions have significantly contributed to the holistic development of society through education and socialisation of students. Moreover, Foundations of Education is a broad field of educational study which examines various concepts and intellectual tools encompassing three major perspectives: philosophical, sociological and psychological. These three key perspectives, if applied accurately, can help the
