Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Behaviorist learning theory emphasizes how people interact with their environment. Over time, these interactions (called “stimuli”) form particular behaviors. John Watson is largely seen as the father of behavioral psychology, though he never claimed to have founded the discipline.
Detailed explanation-3: -The principle of behaviorism dictates that a person, upon seeing how specific events lead to certain outcomes, should be able to make the connection. In areas, such as programming, where there is no room for error or deviation, repetition and drills are of utmost importance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Skinner’s theory of learning says that a person is first exposed to a stimulus, which elicits a response, and the response is then reinforced (stimulus, response, reinforcement). This, ultimately, is what conditions our behaviors. To make this process easier to remember, the ABCs of behaviorism were developed.
Detailed explanation-5: -The most-often used theories of health behavior are Social Cognitive Theory, The Transtheoretical Model/Stages of Change, the Health Belief Model, and the Theory of Planned Behavior. The most-often mentioned theoretical model that has not been fully applied in research and practice is the Social Ecological Model.
