Behaviorism Simplified

In order to better understand Behaviorism I researched more and found an imformational site provided by the University of Georgia. It is very straightforward but I like it because it is very simplified and touches on reinforcements, conditioning, and behavior modifications. Basically, it explains things that we will most likely apply to our own classroom models. The following link will provide you with a great wealth of information about Behaviorism: http://projects.coe.uga.edu/epltt/index.php?title=Behaviorism


Next, I found this diagram to compare and contrast a Behaviorists thinking with that of a Cognitive Psychologists. Notice how different the thinking is and how one relies on prior knowledge while the other focuses on reinforcement of behavior to produce the desired effect.
