Advantages and Disadvantagesof the behaviorist theory
Advantages Shapes behavior
quickly (example 1A)
The learner adapts to the environment
( example 2A)
Behavior can be measured (example 3A)
Disadvantages Internalized reasoning
may not be an outcome(example 1D)
The learner adapts to a poor environment
(example 2D)
Behavior measured may not be a true picture of understanding(example 3D)

Example of Advantage and Disadvantage 1
Shapes behavior quickly: Every time a student would arrive to class on time the teacher would
give the student (on time points.) These points could be used to purchase a watch from the school store.
Behavior is not internalized: A student may act respectful but not feel respect towards a teacher.

Example of Advantage and Disadvantage 2
The learner adapts to the environment The class has been trained to write a half page every day. They are
reinforced with a smiley sticker
The learner adapts to a poor environment A student adapts to a classroom where the other students’ behaviors
are negative and destructive to the learning environment.

Example Advantage and Disadvantage 3
Behavior can be measured Students can take tests to measure whether they can answer the
questions correctly.
Behavior measured may not be a true picture of understanding
Taking a true or false test with the assurance of retaking it until the
student gets it right can lead to guessing for the correct answers.

Quiz Advantages/Disadvantages
A disadvantage to the behaviorist theory is that students can learn behaviors quickly.
True / False An advantage to the behaviorist theory
is: All students learn the best using this theory.
True / False

Who are these Behaviorists?
Ivan Pavlov– 1849-1936
Pavlov wanted to see if external stimuli could affect the salivation process
– he rang a bell at the same time he gave the experimental dogs food.
– After a while, the dogs -- which before only salivated when they saw and ate their food -- would begin to salivate when the bell rang, even if no food were present.
In 1903 he published his results calling this a "conditioned reflex,"different from an innate reflex, such as yanking a hand back from a flame, in that it had to be learned.
Pavlov called this learning process “conditioning”
He thought that conditioned reflexes could explain the
behavior of people.

Who are these Behaviorists?
John Watson– 1878 - 1958
Watson was inspired by Pavlov
He studied the behavior of children and concluded that humans were simply more complicated than animals but operated on the same principles.
All animals, he believed, were extremely complex machines that responded to situations according to their "wiring," or nerve pathways that were conditioned by experience.
In 1913, he published an article outlining his ideas
– disagreed with Freud
– dismissed heredity as a significant factor in shaping human behavior.

Who are these Behaviorists? B.F. Skinner
– 1904 - 1990 Skinner developed
behavioral studies of rats that automatically reward behavior.
He wrote The Behavior of Organisms and began his novel Walden II, about a commune where behaviorist principles created a new kind of utopia.
He used operant conditioning – the rewarding of a partial
behavior or a random act that approaches the desired behavior.
Skinner believed other all complicated tasks could be broken down and taught.
He developed machines so students could learn bit by bit, uncovering answers for an immediate "reward."

Key Concepts Classical Conditioning
– Stimulus-Response
– Action causes response
– The bell rings to start class and all students quiet down and focus attention on the teacher.
![Page 23: Behaviorism](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54773d83b4af9f16608b46af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Key Concepts cont. Operant Conditioning
– Stimulus-Response-Reinforcer :
– Specific action causes a desired response when reinforced
– Students work very hard on mastering their times tables and teacher gives free pass to skip the math homework for that night.

Behavior Modification
Here is a series of steps that a “behaviorist” mightUse to get a person to change their behavior.
1. Choose a behavior goal for a particular person.2. Determine what motivates this particular person.3. Break the behavior down into several small steps.4. Implement these steps and record the results.5. Evaluate the progress and revise the steps as needed.

Using phonics to sound out words is an application of prior knowledge to decode new material. This is not a conditioned response.
![Page 45: Behaviorism](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54773d83b4af9f16608b46af/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Behaviorism often incorporates conditioned responses, which may be learned through memorization, repetition, or automatic feedback.
