Humanistic, Behavioral and Social Learning Theories

Humanistic learning theory emphasizes the freedom and autonomy of learners. It connects the ability to learn with the fulfillment of other needs (building on Maslow's hierarchy) and the perceived utility of the knowledge by the learner. Behavioral Learning Theory is a school of thought that believes humans learn through their experiences by associating a stimulus with either a reward or a punishment. Social learning theory is the philosophy that people can learn from each other through observation, imitation and modeling. The social learning theory and humanistic learning theory are similar in a couple of different ways. First of all, both are influenced by imitation or modeling: in both the behavioral and humanistic models, learners will model the behaviors of those they see as authoritative or those to whom they have an attachment.
