Behaviorism views knowledge as existing independently of people and acquired through replacing undesirable behaviors with desirable ones, and learning as involving observable changes in behavior. It focuses on how behavior begins with stimulus-response interactions with the environment. A key concept is that the environment learns behaviors, minimizing innate influences, and that conditioning centrally acquires all behavior through observable stimulus-response processes without considering feelings. In education, Behaviorism impacted teaching by conditioning students to react and respond appropriately to their environment.
