"Children of high stimulating home environments scored higher in social adjustment that those from a low stimulating home environment even when we take into account their parents' education and the total income of the house. We may conclude that there are social adjustment gaps among children of different levels of home stimulating families regardless of their socio-economic status" (Huang, 2007)
The conclusion to be drawn at this stage is that the interns and the volunteers had engaged in behaviors of positive discrimination, that its, the different treatment of social and economic classes that had been discriminated against in the past; the scope was that of righting part of the wrong in the life of these children and creating better opportunities for them. This approach of the program staffs had resulted from a desire to create equality of rights between the children and it is also supported at a theoretical level due to its expected ability to create social benefits (Hunt, 1993)
According to them, children who become involved in such programs tend to more easily solve their emotional problems and better behave within the society. Still, in order for these effects to be maintained within the long-term, the advances made had to be supported by the family environment of the child, who also had to constantly focus on maintaining and adding new behavioral improvements (Winters and Cox, 1972)
29,35,37,69 for instance, one study found that non-Hispanic White psychologists viewing videotapes of an actress playing a patient reported less empathy when the patient was described as Hispanic rather than White"(2007). Thus, taking the time to teach clinicians the skill of putting themselves in another person's shoes is absolutely vital for empathy to be expressed in an equal and unbiased manner; imagery strategies proved successful in this endeavor as well (Burgess et al
"Encouraging people to mentally simulate a positive intergroup encounter leads to improved out-group attitudes and reduced stereotyping. It curtails intergroup anxiety and extends the attribution of perceivers' positive traits to others" (Crisp & Turner, 2009)
g., guilt), which motivate the development of more favorable attitudes" (Dovido & Gaertner, 1999)
This should come as no surprise, because "most people find that outside distractions interfere with both learning and remembering." (Morris & Maisto, 2005, Memory, p

Traditional Learning Theories Behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitive theories of learning Behavioral theories of learning tend to view the learning process as a skill-based enterprise. The fundamentals of behaviorist theories of learning emphasize "breaking down the skills and information to be learned into small units, checking student's work regularly and providing feedback as well as encouragement (reinforcement)" (Chen, 2010, Behavioral theories)

8-10) Kohn's belief of behaviorism Kohn's belief is the most controversial since he believes that the other behaviorist theory is not entirely correct. For example, he believes that arrogance is an individual's authority as well as status and the willingness, eagerness to enforce an individual's theory through the exertion of control on other persons as outlined by others (Curran,1998) Criticisms It contradicts Darwin's ideas of natural selection-Darwinsm does contradict skinner's theory of operant conditioning
This is because Darwin believed that humans are constantly in a process of improving themselves in order to gain control of themselves (self-control).However "to increase self-control means to increase liberty" or rather free-will is a concept denied by Skinner (Dahlbom, 1984, p
Therefore for a constructivist classroom, the creative process should be made part and parcel of the learning process. Criticism The main criticism is that it contradicts other findings (Matthews, 2000) It is elitist

Skinner, holds that the mind at work cannot be observed, tested, or understood; thus, behaviorists are concerned with actions (behavior) as the sites of knowing, teaching, and learning" (Spillane,2002). Skinner's belief of behaviorism His theory of behaviorism is based on the idea of learning as a function of change in behaviors that are overt (Skinner,1954)

This case that has been considered here is "Development of a vocabulary of object shapes in a child with a very-early-acquired visual agnosia: A unique case." (Funnell & Wilding, 2011) This type of agnosia indicates that cognitive processing exists, as if it was not the case, and that behavioral psychology was the answer, such a problem would not have occurred as all the learning would have been based on stimulus
Behaviorists acknowledge this axiom and aim to promote the science of psychology by cleaving to sound scientific principles. Another aspect of behaviorist philosophy is its belief in natural laws (DeMar, 1998, p
Behaviorism endeavors to predict and control human action. In addition, it strives to identify universal principles of learning (Morris & Maisto, 2002, p
