Question:
A weakness of the learning theory as an explanation for attachment?
Author: (Pippa) Pippa HollowayAnswer:
-The majority of the evidence is based on animals -Behaviourists believe that humans are no different to animals in how they learn, the learning theory as an explanation for attachment is largely based on studies with non-humans animals, eg: Pavlov's study with dogs -Though it may be legitimate to suggest that our behaviour patterns are constructed from the same basic building blocks of stimulus-response patterns, not all human behaviour can be explained by conditioning -Means that the behavioursit explanation of attachment may lack validity because classical and operant conditioning present an oversimplified version of human behaviour
