The document compares three approaches to learning: behavioral, cognitive, and humanistic. The behavioral approach focuses on conditioning and modifying behavior through rewards and punishments. The cognitive approach focuses on developing critical thinking skills and intelligence. The humanistic approach views learning as influenced by the whole child and their environment. Key psychologists who influenced each approach are identified, such as Thorndike, Pavlov, and Skinner for behavioralism; Piaget and Vygotsky for cognitivism; and Maslow and Rogers for humanism.
