weakness 1

• What is a weakness of the behaviorist approach?

  It often uses artificial laboratory environments
• How does behavior differ in real-world settings compared to laboratory settings?

  Behavior is different in real-world situations
• What is a common issue with laboratory research in behaviorism?

  It often lacks ecological validity
• Who conducted research that lacked ecological validity?

  Watson and Rayner
• Why is Watson and Rayner's research not reflective of typical learning environments?

  It does not represent real-world learning contexts
• What does the term "generalizability" refer to in research?

  It refers to applying findings to broader contexts
• How can real-world situations influence the development of biases?

  They can shape how we acquire biases
• What is a potential cause of bias according to the study material?

  Repeated exposure to certain situations
• What does "Little Albert" refer to in the context of bias development?

  It refers to a case of learned phobia
• How does repeated exposure affect bias according to the study material?

  It can lead to the development of biases
• What is the implication of limited external validity in findings?

  It restricts the applicability of research results
• What are the limitations of the behaviorist approach in research?

  • Often uses artificial laboratory environments
  • Lacks ecological validity
  • May not reflect real-world learning contexts
• How do real-world situations influence learning and bias development?

  • Shape how we acquire biases
  • Affect emotional responses
  • Provide context for learning experiences
• What are the key findings of Watson and Rayner's research?

  • Demonstrated learned phobia in "Little Albert"
  • Highlighted limitations in ecological validity
  • Showed effects of repeated exposure on bias
