• P- One strength of the

  behaviourist approach

  is that the principles

  of conditioning have

  been applied to real

  world behaviours and

  problems.
• E- For example, operant

  conditioning is the

  basis of token

  economy which has

  been used as

  treatments in

  institutes like prisons

  or psychiatric wards.
• E- Treatments such as

  these are when you

  are given a tangible token for positive

  behaviour and those

  tokens can be

  exchanged for

  privileges which have

  been seen to be

  effective in these

  environments.
• L- This is a strength of

  the behaviourist

  approach as it

  demonstrates the

  real-life application of

  the theory and

  therefore has real

  value, increasing its

  credibility.
