Skinner’s Verbal Behavior challenged the behaviorist approaches to studies of behavior and language dominant at the time and [...]

Humanistic psychology was developed in the 1950s in reaction to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis.

“We knew that children learn well with their moms or with a [...]

Eight-year-old children have a radically different learning strategy from twelve-year-olds and adults. Eight-year-olds learn primarily from positive feedback (’Well done!’), whereas negative feedback (’Got it wrong this time’) scarcely causes any alarm bells to ring. Twelve-year-olds are better able to process negative feedback, and use it to learn from their mistakes. Adults do [...]
