Document Summary
A genetically determined process of growth that unfolds naturally over a period of time. Behaviourism: a school of psychology that holds the theories of behavior must be based on direct observations of actual behavior and not on speculations about such unobservable things as human motives. Classical conditioning: a type of learning in which individuals learn to respond to unfamiliar stimuli in the same way they are accustomed to respond to familiar stimuli if the two stimuli are repeatedly presented together. Operant conditioning: a type of learning in which learning depends on the consequences of behavior; rewards increase the likelihood that a behavior will recur, whereas punishment decreases that likelihood. Cognitive social learning theory: a learning theory that stresses learning by observation and imitation mediated by cognitive processes and skills. Piagetian theory: a theory of cognitive development that sees the child as actively seeking new information and incorporating it into his knowledge base through the processes of assimilation and accommodation.
