Skinner’s view:
When people are rewarded/punished for a particular behaviour, they exhibit that
behaviour more/less often.
Psychology, therefore, requires strict/detailed observation of the behaviour that an
individual exhibits, & what the stimulus of such behaviour is.
Respondent Behaviour
specific response to a known stimulus
Usually automatic, can be learned → Ivan Pavlov explored classical conditioning
Classical Conditioning
An unrelated stimulus (unconditional stimulus) evokes a certain response (unconditional
response) because it is paired with a neutral stimulus that naturally evokes that
response
