The behaviourist approach evaluation reveals both strengths and weaknesses of this psychological perspective.
Strengths of behaviourist approach:
Highlight: The ability to modify behavior by changing associations has been advantageous in helping people overcome fears and anxieties that affect their daily lives.
Weaknesses of behaviourist approach:
Quote: "Humans show much more complex behaviour therefore the findings cannot be generalised and applied to humans."
Highlight: This deterministic view poses challenges for the legal system, as it suggests individuals may not be fully responsible for their actions if behavior is entirely learned from the environment.
In conclusion, while the behaviourist approach psychology has made significant contributions to our understanding of learning and behavior modification, it faces important criticisms regarding its comprehensiveness and applicability to complex human behaviors.

The behaviourist approach psychology is founded on the belief that human behavior can be explained through conditioning and is shaped by the environment. This approach assumes that the mind is a blank slate at birth, rejecting genetic influences on behavior. Behaviourists focus solely on measurable, observable behaviors.
Definition: The behaviourist approach views all behavior as learned responses to environmental stimuli rather than the result of internal mental processes.
There are two main types of conditioning in the behaviourist approach:
Example: In Pavlov's famous dog experiment, he demonstrated how a neutral stimulus (bell) could be associated with an unconditioned stimulus (food) to produce a conditioned response (salivation to the bell).
Example: Skinner's box experiment showed how rats learned to press a lever to receive food through continuous reinforcement.
Vocabulary:
The behaviourist approach emphasizes that all behavior is learned through interaction with the environment, rejecting the idea of innate behaviors or genetic influences.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
