Document Summary
Thorndike: thinks a bond forms between a stimulus and a response-this is how learning takes place. Comes up with good rules with how these bonds are strengthened. If you engage in a behavior and it creates satisfaction the s-r bond will be stamped in and that behavior will be more likely to occur. If you do something and it leads to dissatisfaction that s-r bond will be stamped out (weakened) and the behavior will be less likely to occur again. Ex: shutting your hand in a car door. Connectionism: thorndike named this approach to learning because it is based on connections between situations and responses. Eldest child of 11-had a lot of responsibility.
