Some types of behavioral psychology include classical conditioning, operant conditioning, social learning theory, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. These approaches focus on how behavior is learned, reinforced, and modified through interactions with the environment.
Learning theory focuses on understanding how learning occurs, while learning psychology explores the mental processes involved in learning, including how individuals acquire, retain, and apply knowledge. Learning theory is more theoretical and abstract, whereas learning psychology delves into the specific cognitive and behavioral aspects of learning.
Psychology is considered both a social science and a behavioral science. As a social science, it examines human behavior in social contexts, while as a behavioral science, it focuses on understanding and predicting behaviors based on principles of learning and cognition.
The behaviorist perspective in contemporary psychology is based on the contention that psychology should focus on studying the laws of learning and observable behavior. Behaviorists believe that all behavior is learned through interactions with the environment, and that by studying these observable behaviors, one can understand and predict human behavior. They emphasize the importance of objective, scientific methods to study and explain behavior.
Behavioral psychology or theory is defined as a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Advocated by famous psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner, behavioral theories dominated psychology during the early half of the twentieth century.
