Define behaviorism -
Answer✅
on observable, measurable behavior Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a
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 shape our behaviors. -
