Major theorists in behaviorism include John B. Watson, Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, B.F. Skinner, and Clark Hull. Behaviorism is based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning, and can be studied systematically through interaction with the environment without consideration of internal mental states. The two major types of conditioning are classical conditioning, involving learned associations between stimuli, and operant conditioning, where behaviors are associated with consequences like rewards and punishments.

9. FATHER OF BEHAVIORISM
 The term behaviorism
refers to the school of
psychology founded by
John B. Watson based on
the belief that behaviors
can be measured, trained,
and changed. Behaviorism
was established with the
publication of Watson's
classic paper "Psychology

12. B.F. Skinner was an American
psychologist and behaviorist best
known for his innovative research
into the experimental analysis of
behavior. He was also a prolific
author, writing 21 books and 180
articles during his lifetime.

13. Hull’s drive reduction theory served
as a general theory of learning that
helped inspire further work by other
researchers. For example, Miller and
Dollard applied Hull’s basic theory
more broadly to include social
learning and imitation. However,
they suggested that motivating
stimuli did not necessary need to be
tied to the survival needs of anClark Hull

15. WHAT IS BEHAVIORISM?
 theory of learning based upon the idea that
all behaviors are acquired through
conditioning. Conditioning occurs through
interaction with the environment.
 Behaviorists believe that our responses 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.

16. THERE ARE TWO MAJOR TYPES OF
CONDITIONING:
 Classical conditioning
- a technique used in behavioral training in which
- 1. a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a
response
- 2. a previously neutral stimulus is paired with the
naturally occurring stimulus.
- the previously neutral stimulus comes to evoke
the response without the presence of the naturally
occurring stimulus.
- The two elements are then known as the
conditioned stimulus and the conditioned
response.

17. OPERANT CONDITIONING
is a method of learning that
occurs through rewards and
punishments for behavior.
Through operant conditioning, an
association is made between a
behavior and a consequence for
that behavior.

18. BEHAVIORISM CAN PERHAPS BE BEST
SUMMED UP BY THE FOLLOWING QUOTE
FROM THE FAMOUS PSYCHOLOGIST JOHN B.
WATSON:

19. "Give me a dozen healthy infants,
well-formed, and my own specified
world to bring them up in and I'll
guarantee to take any one at random
and train him to become any type of
specialist I might select -- doctor,
lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and,
yes, even beggar-man and thief,
regardless of his talents, penchants,
tendencies, abilities, vocations, and
race of his ancestors."
--John Watson, Behaviorism, 1930
