The behaviourist approach focuses on observable events, and behaviourists believe that much of human behaviour can be explained in terms of a basic form of learning known as conditioning.
Classical and operant conditioning make up the behaviourist approach.
Behaviourism is primarily concerned with observable behaviour, as opposed to internal events like thinking and emotion.
Behaviourists believe people do not have free will in that a person’s environment determines their behaviour.
Behaviourism suggests when we are born our mind is 'tabula rasa' (a blankslate).
The learning approach believes that the externalenvironment shapes our behaviour (nurture debate).
