Abstract This paper discusses and defines behaviorism and explores how this theory of learning has affected understanding of learning. It includes a brief history of the founding of behaviorism; discusses the key theorists‚ including Pavlov‚ Watson and Skinner; details experiments conducted by the key theorists and the results there from; and discusses how the behaviorist model of learning can be utilized to develop knowledge. This paper concludes that whether or not to utilize behaviorism to develop
