Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) ka jingïakren ïakhana bad ki briew (social interaction)

  1. The stem asks what is NOT part of behaviourist theory.
  2. Behaviourism sees the child as an empty vessel, and explains learning through trial and error and operant conditioning (reward and repetition).
  3. Social interaction as the source of learning comes from Vygotsky's social-constructivist view.
