The limitations of the behaviourist approach include:
1. Ignores cognitive: It ignores mental processes that are involved in learning unlike the cognitive approach which views these processes as important.
2. Rejects biological: It rejects the role of biological factors, of which there is a lot of evidence, in human behaviour.
3. Deterministic: Behaviourists view humans as passive learners at the 'mercy' of the environment unlike humanistic psychologists who see humans as being able to determine their own development.
4. Can't account for spontaneity: The principles of operant and classical conditioning cannot account for spontaneous behaviour in humans.
5. Applications: Behaviourist psychologists often apply laws of learning that have been tested on animals to humans which raises the question, surely we are more complex then animals?
Hope this helps :)
