-Behaviorism is a learning paradigm with its roots dating back to the second half of 19th century and works of [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Ivan_Sechenov|Ivan Sechenov]] (1829 - 1905) and [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Vladimir_Bekhterev|Vladimir Bekhterev]] (1857 - 1927), and gaining a significant attention in the **first decades of the 20th century**. The most central premise of behaviorism is that, in order to make psychology a real science, it must be orientated on what is **observable** and **measurable**.+Behaviorism is a learning paradigm with its roots dating back to the second half of 19th century and works of [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Ivan_Sechenov|Ivan Sechenov]] (1829 - 1905) and [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Vladimir_Bekhterev|Vladimir Bekhterev]] (1857 - 1927), and gaining a significant attention in the **first decades of the 20th century**.

-Behaviorists saw the mind as a "black box" and did not attempt to analyze its inner processes like thoughts ​and feelings. Instead, they saw learning as a visible change in one's behavior which, unlike mind processes, can be measured. From behaviorist perspective,​ a learner starts off as a clear state and simply responds to environmental stimuli. Those responses can be shaped through positive and negative **reinforcement** (usually a reward for desired and a punishment for undesired behavior), increasing or decreasing the probability of repeating the same behavior. Forming **stimulus-response** (S-R) associations which result in observable behavior is for behaviorism the most significant form of learning. ​+[[http://​edtechundergroundrevolution.blogspot.com/​2010/​09/​behaviorism-in-practice.html|{{ ​ :​images:​behaviorism.jpg?​nolink&​130x140}}]]
