What is Behaviorism?

As a group, we have read various resources that relate to learning theories. Melissa Standridge, in her article explains the factors that do define the theory. She explains that the theory has a focus on individual learning behavior that results from a stimulus-response association. This stimulus (the observable learning) is motivated by prior conditioning and psychological drives (cues) that will exist while the action of learning takes place. The individual behavior is viewed as one that has been learned and that it is interchangeable by new experiences of learning if the behavior is rewarded. This article also discusses the advocates of Behavorism who provide illustrations regarding the important factors that do support the theory. I invite you to review this straight forward article.
