Personality Learning Theories with B.F Skinner Radical Behaviourism

lONLY OVERT BEHAVIOR AND EXTERNAL STIMULI SHOULD BE STUDIED lDIRECT OBSERVATION, PRECISE DEFINITIONS, AND CONTROLLED EXPERIMENTATION SHOULD BE THE ONLY METHODS USED TO STUDY BEHAVIOR lMENTAL LIFE IS IGNORED lTHOUGHT IS COVERT SPEECH

Who came up with classical behaviorism

●EMPHASIS ON CONTROL AND PREDICTION OF BEHAVIOR ●EXPANDED TO PROCESSES WITHIN THE ORGANISM SUCH AS LANGUAGE ●PHENOMENA MUST BE OBSERVABLE TO THE INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCING THEM ●INTERNAL STATES SUCH AS THOUGHTS OR EMOTIONS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT CONSIDERED NON-EXPLANATORY

WHEN SITUATIONS ARE CLEARLY DIFFERENT, BEHAVIOR IS EXPECTED TO BE DIFFERENT lRESEARCH IS BASED ON SYSTEMATIC, CONTROLLED OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION (ANIMAL MODELS), AND IS PRIMARILY NOMOTHETIC lRADICAL BEHAVIORISM IS PARSIMONIOUS (BASED ON FEW CONSTRUCTS, ASSUMPTIONS). IT IS BASED ON DIRECT DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIORAL CONTINGENCIES, WITH AS LITTLE INFERENCE AS POSSIBLE l lIT IS ALSO A FUNCTIONALIST, ENVIRONMENTALISTIC, PRAGMATIC, MATERIALISTIC, AND EXPERIMENTALISTIC APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF BEHAVIOR
