Behaviorism is a study of measurable behavior and its observable .It can be learned through conditioning and reinforcement. It is a school of psychology that takes the objective evidence of behavior as measured responses to stimuli as the only concern of its research and the only basis of its theory without reference to conscious experience. It is also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behavior can be learned and observed. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorist believes that our response to environmental stimuli shapes our behaviors.
According to this school of thought, behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner with no consideration of internal mental states. It suggests that only observable behaviors should be studied, since internal states such as cognitions, emotions, and moods are too subjective. Contributions in the development of the behaviorist theory largely came from Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike and Skinner. Ivan Pavlov is well known for this work in classical conditioning or stimulus substitution. This experiment involved meat, dog and a bell. It measures the dog’s salivation in order to study the behavior of the dog through conditioning. Edward L. Thorndike have the theory of connectionism that has a framework of stimulus-response of behavioral psychology. John Watson also collaborated with Pavlov’s work and he was involved in animal studies, and then later became involved in human behavior research. Burrhus Frederick Skinner like Pavlov, Watson and Thorndike, Skinner believed in the stimulus-response pattern of conditioned behavior.
Psychology as the behaviorist views it is a purely objective
