Behaviorism is primarily concerned with observable and measurable aspects of human behavior that are directed by stimuli. Behaviorist learning theories emphasize changes in behavior that result from stimulus-response associations made by the learner. Behaviorists seek scientific explanations that predict the occurrence of behavior as it relates to environmental factors. Examples of behavior contracts include agreements between teachers and students to complete homework assignments on time in exchange for extra help or to minimize classroom distractions by being punctual and not leaving one's seat without permission.

measurable aspects of human behavior. In defining
behavior, behaviorist learning theories emphasize
changes in behavior that result from stimulus-response
associations made by the learner. Behavior is directed
by stimuli

3.  Behaviorism assumes that behavior is
governed by natural laws that can be
meaningfully studied and identified
 Behaviorists seek scientific explanations that
predict the occurrence of behavior as it
relates to environmental.

4. Two examples of behavior contracts are listed below:
 A student is not completing homework assignments. The teacher and the
student design a contract providing that the student will stay for extra
help, ask parents for help, and complete assigned work on time.
 A student is misbehaving in class. The teacher and student devise a
behavioral contract to minimize distractions. Provisions include that the
student will be punctual, will sit in front of the teacher, will raise hand
with questions/comments, and will not leave his seat without permission.
