In chapter eight the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, both John Dollard and Neal Miller talk about the personality being composed of different habits; which fundamentally are learned associations between stimulus's and responses. Both Dollard and Miller believed that a person's habits are influenced by drives. A drive is a strong stimulation that creates uneasiness, such as hunger or sleepiness (Engler, 2005). Dollard and Miller also believed that there are primary drives. Primary drives are related to a person's own physiological survival; such as the drive for hunger, sleep, and thirst. The secondary drive is learned through the primary drive and a secondary drive is an expansion of a primary drive, such as a feeling or need to earn money to buy food (Engler, 2005). Dollard and Miller also believed in reinforcers, primary reinforcers, and secondary reinforcers. A reinforcer is an event that creates more probability of a certain response. We also all have reflex responses, which are automatic responses to particular stimuli. Dollard and Miller believe that there was a hierarchy of response, which shows what responses are most probable due to certain events. So to break this theory down in order you would start with a drive which impels a person's behavior, a cue a stimulus that tells someone when, where and how to react, a response which is the reaction to the cue, and reinforcement which refers to the effect the response has made. Both Miller and Dollard believed that all human beings can be understood through the learning process, which is the idea of habits and drives. I have found this section of chapter eight to be interesting because I am unfamiliar with the theory of Dollard's and Miller's learning process. It is complex, but by reading about each aspect of the theory it becomes more understandable. I also find Miller and Dollard's theory to be an interesting theory in the field of psychology because I think it is important to have a good understanding of how people interpret and learn things within their environment.
