1. Peter, The Opposite of Albert

1.1. The Experiment

1.1.1. modelling

1.1.1.1. show other child fearlessly with presented of rabbit

1.1.2. Counterconditioning

1.1.2.1. eat lunch,move rabbit to Peter everyday

1.1.3. Generalisation

1.1.3.1. Peter’s other fears also eliminated

2. THE SUBJECT MATTER OF BEHAVIOURISM

2.1. Four Types of Behaviour

2.1.1. explicit learned behavior

2.1.1.1. talking, writing

2.1.2. implicit learned behavior

2.1.3. explicit unlearned behavior

2.1.3.1. grasping, blinking

2.1.4. implicit unlearned behavior

2.1.4.1. glandular secretions

3. OBJECTIVES

3.1. Learn about Watson's behaviourism

4.1.1. practical value

4.2. Watson' psychology

4.2.1. Psychology = science of behaviour

4.2.2. Discard mentalistic ideas

4.2.3. experimental natural science

4.2.4. behaviour concepts

4.2.5. Goal, prediction and control of behaviour

5. The Methods of Behaviourism

5.1. Observation

5.1.1. With and without the use of instruments

5.2. Testing methods

5.2.1. Test results = samples of behaviour

5.3. Verbal report method

5.6.1. Wundt & Titchener

5.6.1.1. Subjects were both observer and observe

5.6.1.2. Role more important than experimenter

5.6.2. Behaviourism

5.6.2.1. Observed by experimenters

5.6.2.2. No longer actively observed their own characteristics

5.6.2.3. Merely behaved
