Correct answer: (A) Neo-behavioural theory — The view that behaviour results from environment interacting with innate processes is neo-behavioural theory, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The view that behaviour results from environment interacting with innate processes is neo-behavioural theory, so that is the answer.
★Neo-behaviourism keeps the behaviourist focus on environment and response but adds inner factors.
★So it treats learning as the joint result of outside influence and the learner's own innate predispositions.
★Pure behavioural theory looks only at outside stimulus and response, leaving out inner processes.
★Cognitive theory looks mainly at the inner mental processes, giving less weight to environment.
★Since this combined view balances environment and innate processes, it is neo-behavioural theory.
