Daegan D, Derek W, Thomas E, Ashley R, Trenton P What is Behaviorism? Behaviorism is a claim that rejects psychology as a study of the mind, but rather a study of the science of behavior. Behavior is easily described without a direct correlation to the mind or thought. Three Types Of Behaviorism: Methodological Psychological Analytical Methodological : Is a theory that claims that psychology should concern itself with the behavior of organism. The theory rejects that psychology isn't totally about the mind. Psychological Psychological behaviorism is sub category of behaviorism that deals with human and animal behavior when introduced to stimuli. For example a starving rat in a cage fitted with a food delivery system that when activated by the rat it would dispensed food, so the likelihood of the rat pressing the lever to get food was highly increased. Analytical Analytical behaviorism is the theory about the mental terms or concepts. A mental state or condition is an idea of behavioral disposition. Basically how a person reacts to one event rather then another. History of Behaviorism Behaviorism was developed from 1880 to 1920, during the American Progressive Movement, by John Watson. Watson claimed psychology was not a study of thought, but rather a scientific study of the humans’ response to thought. John B Watson 1878-1958 Watson was an American psychologist who established the psychological school of behaviorism. His ideology was revolutionary during the 19th century. Before his contributions to psychology was primarily based on cognitive thought and relationships with other individuals. John Watson Introduced the cause and effect relationship when introduced to stimuli. http://eweb.furman.edu/~einstein/ watson/jbwform.jpg B. F. Skinner 1904-1990 B. F. Skinner was one of the most influential American psychologists He was a radical behaviorist and developed the theory of operant conditioning- the idea that behavior is determined by its consequences and that these behaviors can be conditioned through reinforcement or punishment http://www.nndb.com/people/297 /000022231/bf-skinner-sm.jpg The Skinner Box The Skinner Box is a device first developed by B. F. Skinner used with his work on operant conditioning An animal subject is placed in the box and a mechanism gave small amounts of food each time the subject performed an action With this device, Skinner was able to research principles of behavioral reinforcement and conditioning madamepickwickartblog.com http://content.answcdn.com/main/content/img/ox ford/Oxford_Mind/0198162246.skinner-box.1.jpg How Behaviorism is used today: Today behaviorism is used to help the functioning and performance of individuals with: therapy, business and industry, improving athletic performance. http://topnews.in/usa/fil es/fastest-cheetah.jpeg Popularity of behaviorism Behaviorism was a very popular research program among students of behavior from about the second decade of the twentieth century through its middle decade. Among psychologists behaviorism was more popular than among philosophers. Behavior Therapy Behavior therapy developed behavior management techniques for autistic children and token economies for the management of chronic schizophrenics. It brought in discussions on what was the best way to understand the behavior of nonhuman animals, the relevance of lab study to the natural environmental occurrence of behavior, and if there is a built-in associative bias in learning.
