“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

The learners or very faster than comparing other learners which mean they can study in a minute many things in details and it reflect in their whole life long. Behaviorists believe that our response to environmental stimuli shapes our behaviors.

As he suggest that only observable behaviors should be studied, since internal states such as cognitions, emotions and moods are too subjective.

ReplyDeleteBehavioral approaches to teaching generally involve the following:
ReplyDelete1. Breaking down the skills and information to be learned into small units.
2. Checking student's work regularly and providing feedback as well as encouragement (reinforcement).
3. Teaching "out of context." Behaviorists generally believe that students can be taught best when the focus is directly on the content to be taught. Behavioral instruction often takes the material out of the context in which it will be used.
4. Direct or "teacher centered" instruction. Lectures, tutorials, drills, demonstrations, and other forms of teacher controlled teaching tend to dominate behavioral classrooms.
