BEHAVIORAL APPROACH

Behaviorism, also called the learning perspective, is a philosophy of psychology based on the proposition that all things that organism do (including acting, feeling and thinking) can and should be regarded as behavior.
When we learn, we are acquiring new knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing diff. types of information.  The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals and some machines. Progress over time tends to follow learning curves.
Using the simplest or most frugal route of explanation available is called "Parsimony".  The word Parsimony comes from the Middle English parcimony, from the latin word parsimonia.
EDWARD LEE THORNDIKE was born August 31, 1874, died in August 9, 1949 at the age of 74 yrs old.
He is an American Psychologist who spent nearly his entire career at Teachers College, Columbia University.
He works on animal behavior and the learning process led to the theory of connectionism and helped lay the scientific foundation for modern educational psychology.
I learned that Associationism is the idea that mental processes operate by the association of one state with its successor states.
Edward Lee Thorndike published The Law of Effect in 1950 and it contains that when an S-R association is established in instrumental conditioning between the instrumental response and the contextual stimuli that are presents, the response is reinforced and the S-R association holds the sole responsibility for the occurrence of that behavior.
The law of effect provided a framework for psychologist B. F. Skinner almost half a century later on the principles of operant conditioning. Skinner would later use an updated version of Throndike’s puzzle box and contribute greater to our perception and understanding of the law of effect today and how it relates to operant conditioning, “a learning process by which the effect, or consequence, of a response influences the future rate of production of that response.”
I adopted that Behaviorist Approach focuses in learning, changes in behavior because of experience.
It excludes the changes due to fatigue, injury and drugs.

My insights about the topic "BIOLOGICAL APPROACH" .

Biological Approach is the study of mind and body ..
I learned that many systems are functioning while we are alive ...
The mind or the brain is giving the command and the body is the doer ...
While inside are body, there is many organism who is in charge of delivering the message from the brain to the body and they all have their own function ...
Like the sensory neuron they are responsible for converting external stimuli from the environment into internal stimuli ..
The motor neuron  that project their axons outside the CNS and directly or indirectly control muscles.
The inter neuron is a multipolar neuron which connects afferent neuronsand efferent neurons in neural pathways ..


I also learned what drugs can do to us ...
Some drugs can help us in our daily life ...
But many of it is giving us some suddenly happiness ..
Like MARIJUANA, it give s us the strength that we need but when we are always relying to that drugs ..
We can harm ourselves ..


We studied the Physical Basis of Behavior because it is important to us ..
It teach us how to know the traits or characteristics of a person ...
Like a criminal ...
We can't see to the physical appearance of a criminal ...
We will find his/her behavior so that we will know that the person we are talking is a criminal ..


In heredity ...
We know that the we can get the genes of our parents because we our their children ...
But some of us gets the genes of our grandparents ...
These are the list of DOMINANT TRAITS :
Brown or Dark Eyes
Dark or Brunette hair
Curly hair
Normal Hair
Normal Color Vision
Normal sight
Normal hearing
Normal skin color
Normal Blood
list of RECESSIVE TRAITS :
Blue or light-colored eyes
Light, blonde, or red hair
Straight Hair
Baldness
Color Blindness
Night Blindness
Congenital deafness
Albinism
Hemophilia
Genetics Abnormalities is one of the most interesting developments in behavior genetics research involves identifying the specific genes that produce certain disorders and behaviors, some of which had previously been thought to be influenced by one's environment.
