From this point many writers suggested that Cognitivism
Enrichment as a concept does not seem to be have a standard definition. It is a concept that has evolved and matured over the last 100 years at least, and is premised on the idea that providing captive animals with a variable environment enhances their behavioural flexibility in response to the variable environment this has positive physical and mental health or he animals (Davis, 2015).

He was deeply influenced by animal studies and felt that psychology could not rely on introspection but on observation. He used many different methods such as observation, testing methods, verbal reports and the conditioned reflex method. In contrast to behavioural psychology, psychodynamic psychology ignores the basis of science and instead focuses on trying to get 'inside the head' of individuals

In either of these cases, the performer sets certain attitude (whether prepare well, be casual, just ignore etc.) towards the task which is based on his/her personal judgement of his capability (self-efficacy) of doing the task.

Introduction Social work involves the application of diverse knowledge of psychological and physiological perspectives of evaluating people. The significance of such knowledge is even more enforced when dealing with groups or individuals of specialized cases such as the elderly. The understanding of human behaviour is important for a social health care worker to effectively provide appropriate services to specialized clients (Passer et al, 2009). From the perspective of the social care providers, understanding
Definition of learning: The simplest definition for learning can be “Relative permanent change in behavior brought about through experience or interactions with the environment”. Psychologically, we can say that, when people learn anything, some part of their brain is physically changed to record what they have learned. This cause changes in the behavior of a person and any kind of change in the way an organism behaves is learning. Learning Theories: Classical Conditioning theory: Conditioning is
