Pavlov and Skinner’s Theories
This paper compares the learning theories of Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner, highlighting their contributions to behavioral psychology. Pavlov’s classical conditioning theory focuses on automatic, unconscious responses to stimuli, while Skinner’s operant conditioning theory emphasizes voluntary behaviors influenced by rewards and punishments. Both theories have significantly impacted modern practices in education, healthcare, and behavioral modification. By exploring the contrasts and applications of their theories, the paper demonstrates the continued relevance of both frameworks in understanding and shaping human behavior.
