|
Skinner was known for: |
Operant conditioning. roughly changing the behavior by use of reinforcement which is given after desired response. Ex: baby put toy bear in toilet, got in trouble, didn't do it again. |

|
Titchner was Wendt's student he would found what reductionistic school? |
Structionalism |
|
Behaviorism is based on the assumption that? |
Learning occurs through interactions with the environment. |
|
What 19th-century scholar was also associated however with introspection? |
Titchener & Wundt |
|
Descartes would be more comfortable talking to Titchner or James? |

James early functionalist |
|
introspection: |
a species of observation, but the subject to be observed is in experience itself, " looking in" to see if elements of experience and the way the elements combine. |
|
Functionalism |
followed structionslism and moved away from focusing on structure of the mind to a concern with how the conscious is related to behavior, how does the mind affect what people do. How,what, not |

|
