Concerning the first major view, the theory of the "black box" is said to be culminated in 1960s, bringing about the theory of purposive organism. According to the second view, three perspectives come to the fore: the first considers the parent-child interactions as the child's unconditional obedience to his or her parent; the second views the above - mentioned interactions as the child's logical obedience to a parent; in other words, a child complies with his or her parent's requests; the third considers the patrent - child interactions as a model which a child has to follow. As for the third view, there exists six educational patterns or models from which the transient, direct and evidence - centered patterns are worth mentioning.
