Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Behaviorism works on the premise ____
A
that behavior cannot be shaped.
B
that learning has taken place when behavior has changed.
C
that humans will only learn when they have been punished.
D
that behavior is just a state of mind.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Behaviorism operates on the premise that knowledge is only valuable if it results in modified behavior. Many believe that the purpose of learning and education is much more than teaching everyone to conform to a specific set of behaviors.

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic premise of behaviorism is that the study of behavior should be a natural science, such as chemistry or physics. Initially behaviorism rejected any reference to hypothetical inner states of organisms as causes for their behavior, but B.F.

Detailed explanation-3: -Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. This learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the environment, and says that innate or inherited factors have very little influence on behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Behaviorism is an area of psychological study that focuses on observing and analyzing how controlled environmental changes affect behavior. The goal of behavioristic teaching methods is to manipulate the environment of a subject-a human or an animal-in an effort to change the subject’s observable behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -Behaviorist theory does not explain abnormal behavior in terms of the brain or its inner workings. Rather, it posits that all behavior is learned habits, and attempts to account for how these habits are formed.
