To what extent can the behaviourist approach in psychology be understood to be supportive of the nurture argument

the behaviourist approach within psychology sees all behaviour as learn from the person's environment. therefore, it can be understood to be highly supportive of the nurture argument, as it views all behaviour as learnt throughout a person's life, rather than behaviour being the result of innate, hereditary traits. for example, using the social learning theory, which was developed by the behavioural psychology Bandura, we can understand how the behaviourist approach links to the nurture debate. social learning theory sees all human behaviour as the result of observation of role model behaviour. the person observes the behaviour, and later, when motivated to do so, will repeat the behaviour, therefore it has become learnt. for example, this is evidenced in Bandura's Bobo doll study, where children were exposed to an aggressive role model, observed the behaviour and later, when provoked, demonstrated copied or similar aggressive behaviour. therefore, we can use the behaviourist social learning theory to show that behaviourism supports the nurture approach, as all behaviour is learnt from environmental experiences
