What is radical behaviorism? What is cognitive psychology? How are radical behaviorism and cognitive psychology similar and different.

Radical behaviorism theory: This was an approach designed
by BF Skinner, the father of behaviorism. The premise of radical behaviorism is that  an
individual will learn new behaviors (or eliminates others) by consistent reinforcement,
or the removal of reinforcements. Basically, the theory states that people behave
socially only: Through motivators, reinforcement, and
modeling.

Cognitive theory is the opposite: It states that
people learn from both nature and nurture, at specific developmental states, with the
help of social learning, but mostly out of genetic pre-dispositions of character traits
and personality.

They are alike in that they both contend
that nature and nurture are equally responsible for the upbringing of an individual.
They are different in that behaviorism deals strictly with social learning while
cognitive is an inner process.
