What do you mean by behavirost theory?

Answer 1

Behaviorist theory is a psychological approach that emphasizes the study of observable behaviors rather than internal mental processes. It posits that all behaviors are learned through interactions with the environment, primarily through conditioning—both classical (associative learning) and operant (reinforcement and punishment). Key figures, such as B.F. Skinner and John B. Watson, argued that behavior can be shaped and modified through systematic reinforcement. The theory suggests that understanding and controlling behavior can lead to desired outcomes in education, therapy, and other fields.
