Season 3, Episode 03: Behaviorist vs. Cognitive vs. Humanist: The 3 Approaches to Learning
How do we actually learn? Is it a reaction to our environment, a process of deep thought, or something we gain from experience? In this essential episode, your host Neo Gentrics moves beyond the basics to explore the fundamental theories behind how we acquire knowledge.
This is a deep dive into the three major psychological approaches that shape all forms of education and training. Understanding these core models is the first step to becoming a more effective and self-aware learner.
This is your guide to the core theories of learning, including:
- The Behaviorist Approach: Learning as a response to stimuli, featuring the work of Pavlov (classical conditioning) and B.F. Skinner (positive/negative reinforcement).
- The Cognitive Approach: The idea that learning involves active thinking, featuring the theories of John Dewey ("learning to think") and B.S. Bloom (the cognitive and affective domains).
- The Humanistic Approach: A modern approach focused on self-directed, experiential learning, featuring the work of David Kolb (The Experiential Learning Cycle) and Albert Bandura (Self-Efficacy Theory).
