Solution

Contrast Bandura\'s view of learning with Skinner\'s view.

According to skinner, the learning perspective is associated with child involves radical behaviorism & environment has specific influence on behavior. It involves rewards and punishments with operant conditioning of learning in children with schedules of reinforcement, superstitious behavior my result in them. According to Skinner’s goal with the “baby box” was to control a child’s environment through the principles of operant conditioning. The predominant focus of operant conditioning is how the immediate environment shapes behavior through reinforcement and consequences to avoid destructive behavior. In case of Skinner\'s second child, Deborah, he built a controlled environment (rough version of the baby box) for simplifying baby care and cognitive development.

According to Bandura, children learning perspective is mainly associated with anticipated outcomes based on observational learning where environmental cues has specific impact on them.

Behavioral cognitive theory: According to Bandura, behavior is resultant response due to complex interplay between environmental cues & inner processes in any species finally attain empirical validity.           

As per cognitive theories behavioral concern always involves a variety of environmental stimulus and concerned response, it could be voluntary response or reflexive response. These responses are associated with cues. This behavior is mainly based on external rewards through cortico-striatal pathway.

Social cognitive theory: This theory of personality with more applied value & which is based on attentional and retentional processes (observational learning) to deliver a specific motor reproduction of behavior. The social behavior & prosocial of a person is mainly depends on the negative & positive reinforcements produced according events in society.
