Behaviorists and cognitive psychologists have several viewpoints in common and differ on many others. Both are theories still used today but the cognitive theory is the most popular.Ideas that they have in common include:•The person’s environment plays a role in influencing behavior•Focus on the study of how people learn•Break down a person’s behavior in a situation to discover meaning and change•Research should be objective and based on evidence
Ways that behaviorists and cognitivists differ:Cognitivists•Subcategories include multiple intelligence, brain-based learning, and learner-centered instruction focus on the person as an active participant in the learning process•Place emphasis on cognitive processes (memory, language, problem solving), meaning, intentions, emotions, creativity, and stages of human developmentBehaviorists•Explain learning as only observable behavior which makes the person a passive recipient (through stimulus-response with environment) in the learning process•Emphasis on changing behavior by reward and punishment systems
