Guest Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 How about: Skinner - Operant Conditioning Erikson- predetermined stages linked to social aspects Piaget - predetermined stages linked to cognitive dev. Bandura - behaviour influenced by environmental factors (did the bobo doll experiment) Vygotsky - positive social interaction can change behaviour. They can all be found if you google the names. Hope that helps. Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I know what you mean. When I did my DPP I found it hard to remember which theorist had what theory. Once I got into it I found it really interesting though and very relevant to my practical work. Good luck with the course work. Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
