In this paper we will be reviewing the four major learning theories, Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and Humanism, as it may apply in a corporate training proposal. Specific modules have been chosen from each of these theories. The goal is to inspire, propagate and promote the full potential of the employees in relationship to their duties, responsibilities and adaptation to learning. Behaviorism: Founded by John B. Watson in 1912, who published "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It"
Applying Learning Theory to Life PSY 331 Catherine Vivi Ashford University Instructor: Steven Peters February 9, 2015 Applying Learning Theory to Life Epistemology, or in other words, the theory of knowledge, is the study of knowledge, what it is, how we acquire it, and our justifiable beliefs that are included in that study. Generally, the study of knowledge is done through a philosophical method. There are four basic theories of learning; those are behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism,
(1962) defined scientific paradigms as "accepted examples of actual scientific practice.” The heredity-environment continuum paradigm is based on four theories: psycho-analytic/dynamic, behavioral, humanistic and social-cognitive.

Behaviorism, Cognitive and Humanistic All Summed Up Janice M. Brown Aspects of Psychology Professor Trego November 8, 2012 Behaviorism, Cognitive, and Humanistic Behaviorism, cognitive and humanistic are all perspectives (or theories) of psychology. Behaviorism is a perspective that suggests that all behaviors are learned. What I mean by that is according to John B. Watson who founded the school of psychology, suggests the behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. [ (Cherry, 2012)
placement of the theories will be discussed thoroughly and efficiently. Each of the theories were placed on a spectrum that measured whether they were more influenced by heredity or environment. Some, as many can see, can fit into both sides of the spectrum. There are many factors that are involved in the process, and each are important variables in personality, and the evolution of humanity.

Behaviorism is a worldview, which operates under a stimulus response principle. Every behavior is caused by an operating condition (external stimuli). Moreover, behaviors can be described without necessarily considering internal states or consciousness of mind. It basically assumes that a learner is passive, reacting to stimuli from the environment. Initially, the learner is a clean slate (tabula rasa) and the shaping of behavior is through positive as well as negative reinforcement. Both the reinforcements

psychopathology. Freud's theories became very well-known, largely because they tackled subjects such as sexuality, repression, and the unconscious mind as general aspects of psychological development. These were largely considered taboo subjects at the time, and Freud provided a catalyst for them to be openly discussed in polite society. While Freud is perhaps best known for his tripartite
psychological schools represent the major theories of psychology. The first stream of well-founded thought this was structuralism was defended by Wilhelm Wundt. Immediately other theories began to emerge and compete for dominance in psychology. In the past, psychologists often identified exclusively with one school of thought, through time this has changed. Today, most psychologists have an eclectic vision of psychology. Often they based only on ideas and theories from different schools rather than search
psychological research. Addiction can be examined from a biological approach, a family systems approach, a behavioral approach, a cognitive approach, or a humanistic approach. These various approaches to psychological research are rooted in theoretical viewpoints. Psychological theories include behaviorism, humanism, and social learning. Moreover, the different psychological theories are not always incompatible with one another. Psychological research is made more robust and reliable because of its diversity
