82. Three Most Influential Movements in Modern Psychology 1. Behavioral Perspective [Behaviorism] 2. Psychodynamic Perspective 3. Humanistic Approach
83. Behavioral Perspective of Psychology Simply called “Behaviorism” Main focus is on observable behaviors – only what can be seen Does not speculate on mental processes such as thinking Main belief is that all behavior is learned
84. Ivan Pavlov: Russian Psychologist Won Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1904 Created a famous behaviorist theory on learning – Classical Conditioning
85. Learned Associations - Conditioning When two unrelated things (stimuli) are paired together and eventually become associated with each other For example when the school bell rings you stand up and leave the classroom
86. Pavlov Con’t: Famous for his Salivating (drooling) Dog Experiment When he would jingle his keys the dogs would begin to drool This is an example of conditioning because the sound of the keys and the food are unrelated, but when paired together many times, the dogs associated the sound of keys with feeding Same thing happens when a cat hears the can opener and comes running
87.
88. John B. Watson brought Behaviorism to America Insisted all psychology should only be concerned with observable behaviors Developed strict laboratory control systems By controlling a subjects environment you can control all behavior

91. B.F. Skinner called the “greatest contemporary psychologist of all time” believed that behavior changes as the result of rewards and consequences (punishments) environment, not free will, shapes human behavior goal of psychologist is to identify and change the environmental conditions to control subjects behavior Created the “Skinner Box”
92. Sigmund Freud and the Psychodynamic Perspective: Freud sought to delve deep beneath observable behaviors Wanted to find the root of the problem that he believed was often located in the unconscious mind Believed behaviors were only manifestations or signs of a deeper problem

102.
103. The Humanistic Approach: Often viewed as the “third force” because this view of psychology offered an alternative perspective Is a distinctly positive view of human nature Major players – Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and Albert Bandura
