Describe Dollard and Miller's concept of habits and the four elements of learning that govern these habits
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answer will include that Dollard and Miller view habits, or learned behavior patterns, as making up the structure of personality. Habits are governed by four elements of learning: drive, cue, response, and reward. A drive is any stimulus strong enough to goad a person to action, such as hunger, pain, lust, frustration, or fear. Cues are signals from the environment. These signals guide responses (actions) so that they are most likely to bring about reward (positive reinforcement).
