- Neo-behaviorism that is more popular in education and asserts that thought most be conceptualized with intervening variables (like cognitivism).
Behaviorist educational psychology
- Behaviorist psychology considers the human brain as a blackbox that can't be accessed. Learning is considered as process of stimulus-response that one can observe and manipulate.
Behaviorist Pedagogy
- Behaviorist pedagogy aims to modify observable behavior and considers learning behavior that shows acquisition of knowledge or skills.
- Most behaviorist pedagogy, i.e. related instructional design models are actually neo-behavorist
- See also the article on learning type, e.g. learning type#Levels_of_Learning
Examples
- Gagne's Nine events of instruction, a partly behaviorist, partly cognitivist model.
- See also the whole range of instructional design models.
