Match the correct approach with the correct explanation!
APPROACH Behaviour is determined by...
Behaviourist .. own thought processes, which determine our behaviour. Thereforethe individual has some degree of control over his or her behaviour.
Social Learning Theory
.. of others (vicarious learning) and so behaviour is largely a product of our experience (i. it is determined). However, although the learning process provides the tools to conduct a particular behaviour, it is up to the individual how and when to apply these tools (i. free-will)
Cognitive
.. (e. neurochemical and hormonal) factors and/or inherited (genetic) factors, both of which are outside of our control.
Biological
.. consequences of our behaviour (i. our reinforcement history), which determines the likelihood of behaviour reoccurring. Skinner emphasised the importance of external forces in the environment (e. rewards and punishments) in shaping our behaviour (environmental determinism).
APPROACH The origin of behaviour is...
Behaviourist
.. nature. Biological systems such as the CNS and the endocrine system are the product of innate factors (nature). However, experience may modify these systems, e. Maguire et al.’s study (2000) of London taxi drivers, which found structural changes in the brain as a result of having to learn to navigate London’s complex road layout.
Social Learning Theory
.. nature and nurture, as thought processes may be a product of innate factors or our experiences. We all share the same means of information processing (nature), but problems may arise when people develop irrational thoughts and beliefs as a result of their experiences (nurture).
Cognitive
... nurture, as it is a consequence of our interactions with the environment and the consequences of our behaviour within that environment.
Biological
.. nurture in that people learn as a result of observing others. However, it is generally assumed that the capacity to learn from an observation of others has some adaptive value, therefore is likely to be innate (i. nature).
