7.The Cognitive Social Approach to Behavior & Memory

This audio explores the transition from strict behaviorism to cognitive social learning theories in psychology. While behaviorists like B.F. Skinner viewed the mind as a "black box" controlled entirely by environmental rewards, newer research into latent learning suggests that internal mental maps and thoughts significantly mediate behavior. The podcast highlights key concepts such as Rotter’s locus of control, Seligman’s learned helplessness, and Bandura’s self-efficacy, all of which emphasize how personal beliefs shape reactions to the world. It further explains how the computer metaphor revolutionized the study of memory, introducing ideas like short-term storage, chunking, and schematic processing. Finally, the audio details how these cognitive principles are applied in psychotherapy, using techniques like systematic desensitization to reprogram learned emotional responses.
