behaviourism

• the behaviourist approach suggests that psychology should be the study of observable behaviour rather than the inner workings of the mind
• the behavioural approach has a scientific method as it is based on observation and measurement within a lab
• according to the behaviourist approach, all behaviour, both normal and abnormal is learnt by a process known as conditioning.
• behaviourists


  Behaviourists believe that people are shaped by their external environment and that all behaviours are learned through conditioning, without the need to consider thoughts or feelings
