The behaviourist perspective focuses on the way objects or events in the environment (stimuli) come to control behaviour through learning. Hence, it focuses on the relationship between external (environmental) events and observable behaviours whereas the cognitive perspective focuses on the way people perceive, process and retrieve information. In comparison to both, they acknowledge the environment as a stimulus.
