History of Behaviorism
Ivan Pavlov [1849-1936]
"While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. "
Ivan Pavlov's discovery and research on reflexes influenced the growing behaviorist movement, and his work was often cited in John Watson's writings.
Classical conditioning/ Respondent conditioning
History of Behaviorism
John Watson [1878-1958] "Father of Behaviorism" "Watson argued that the proper subject matter for
psychology was not states of mind or mental processes but observable behavior." [Cooper, Heron & Heward, p.9] Stimulus- Response Behaviorism
History of Behaviorism
B.F. Skinner [1904-1990]
"The consequences of an act affect the probability of it's occurring again. "
Founder of experimental analysis of behavior
Skinner developed the theory of "operant conditioning," the idea that we behave the way we do because this kind of behavior has had certain consequences in the past.
Skinner and others outlined basic principles of behavior, which include reinforcement, prompting, fading, shaping, schedules of reinforcement, etc., etc., etc.
In addition to fleshing out operant conditioning, Skinner also analyzed the functions of language and presented his analysis in the 1957 book Verbal Behavior.
History of Behaviorism
B.F. Skinner [1904-1990] (Continued)
"Father of Radical Behaviorism"
Philosophy of the science of behavior (usually referred to as behavior analysis)
Holds that a science of behavior, completely natural, is possible and desirable
Mentalistic explanations of behavior are not useful and often obscure the real reasons for behaving
We often talk in mentalistic ways ("slipped my mind")
Private events are natural behaviors (thinking, feeling, dreaming, etc.); they are psychological activities
Activities are extended across time and involve past and present, and different types of behaviors
