Functionalistic and Associationistic theories
I have chosen:
o Edward Lee Thorndike (functionalistic)
o Ivan Pavlov (associationistic)
Analyze briefly, the functionalistic and
associationistic theories associated with my selected theorists. In your layout
or bullets, address the following items:
Discuss the contributions of selected theorists made to the
field of learning and cognition.
Describe the models associated with selected theorists.
Describe the major theoretical concepts associated with the
models.
Analyze the modern-day relevancy of the models, such as in
media advertisements or education
I have some research info on Thorndike. He was a leader of
the functionalist movement interested in studying how individuals adapted to
their environments and how this knowledge could be applied to improve the human
condition and how the mind serves to adapt the individual to the environment.
I have 2 references already, if you can provide more, I will
greatly appreciates it, that way I can review the research further.
