Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.--John Watson, Behaviorism, 1930

Social learning Theory (Bandura)
Bandura’s Social Learning Theory posits that people learn from one another, via observation, imitation, and modeling.
26
Social Learning Theory (Vygotsky)
social interaction precedes development; consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and social behavior.
28
Vygotsky’s Major Themes
• Social interaction
• The More Knowledgeable Other
• The Zone of Proximal Development
The scaffolds provided are activities and tasks that:
• Motivate or enlist the child’s interest related to the task
• Simplify the task to make it more manageable and achievable for a child
The scaffolds provided are activities and tasks that:
• Provide some direction in order to help the child focus on achieving the goal
The scaffolds provided are activities and tasks that:
• Clearly indicate differences between the child’s work and the standard or desired solution
The scaffolds provided are activities and tasks that:
• Model and clearly define the expectations of the activity to be performed (Bransford, Brown, and Cocking, 2000).
The scaffolds provided are activities and tasks that:

Behaviorism Assumptions

Focus on observable events
Identify specific stimuli (including your own behaviors) that may be
influencing the behaviors that students exhibit

Contiguity of events
If you want students to associate two events (stimuli and response)
with each other, make sure the events occur close together in time

Example: Negative Reinforcement
• Driving in heavy traffic is a negative condition for most of us. You leave home earlier than usual one morning, and don't run into heavy traffic. You leave home earlier again the next morning and again you avoid heavy traffic. Your behavior of leaving home earlier is strengthened by the consequence of the avoidance of heavy traffic.
