AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Behaviorism is primarily concerned with observable and measurable aspects of human behavior. In defining behavior, behaviorist learning theories emphasize changes in behavior that result from stimulus-response associations made by the learner.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Learning involves a behavior change.” “Organisms are born as blank slates.” “Learning is largely the result of environmental events” (conditioning). “Learning happens to an organism in a way that is often beyond the organism’s control.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Behaviors can be measured by three fundamental properties which include repeatability, temporal extent, and temporal locus. Repeatability refers to how a behavior can be counted or how it can occur repeatedly through time.
