The behaviorist theory argues how development has more to do with nurture than nature. This is supported by John Watson who states that humans are born with only a few reflexes and the emotional reactions of terror, love and temper. All other behaviour is learnt though stimulus and response. This however can be criticised as it does not take into account behaviour that is learnt through human curiosity and interest. UK essays (2015) supports this as it states ‘The main foundation of this theory is the notion that all behaviour is largely based on learnt responses about specific stimuli.’ This can explain the techniques and purposes of communication within health and social care settings, as it can help explain the method of language
