Hi Chad!
I really enjoyed reading your post. The way you introduced each theory and connected it to a personal example made it super engaging, it kept me interested the whole way through. I thought your sticker example was a great way to show behaviorism in action. It reminded me of our class discussion about extrinsic motivation.
It also made me wonder how behaviorism would handle intrinsic motivation. Since it’s so focused on rewards and consequences, how would it support or measure motivation that comes from within?
Your example for cognitivism was also really strong. I liked how you showed the process of breaking down complex information to really understand it. It made me think about how important that kind of learning is in subjects like math or science, where just memorizing isn’t enough. Thank you for your post!
