In this theory, It is a theory that focuses on observable behaviors and disregards internal activities like thinking and emotion.
The principles of behaviorism
 Operant Condition ( instrumental conditioning)
This principle involves learning through consequences.
Behaviors are influenced by the reward of punishment that follow them.
Punishment is meant to reduce the occurence of a behavior.
Reinforcement Schedules
It provides a reward after every desired behavior, while intermittent reinforcement provides rewards only part time.
Intermittent schedules can be fixed or variable and based on intervals of time or ratios of responses.
Behavior Modification
This involves applying principles of operant conditioning to change undesirable behaviors and reinforce desired ones.
Techniques include shaping ( reinforce successive approximations of a target behavior), token economies ( using tokens as a form of secondary reinforcement), and contingency management (altering the consequences of behavior to change its occurrence).
Classical Conditioning ( Pavlovian Conditioning)
This principle involves learning through association.
