The key component to this paradigm are **observable behaviors and their measuring**. |
Behaviorists view **learning as a visible change in ones behavior**. Behaviorism assumes that the learner starts off as a clear state and simply responds to environmental stimuli. Those responses **can be shaped through positive and negative reinforcement** increasing or decreasing the probability of repeating the same behavior. | Behaviorists view **learning as a visible change in ones behavior**.

- | Behaviorism today mostly **lost its influence** and let **cognitivism take its place** as the dominant paradigm. Critics of behaviorist learning usually argue that behaviorism **does not explain all kinds o learning** since it ignores inner mind activities. Behaviorism also neglects the fact that behavior also depends on learners inner subjective representation of environment and learning history. | + | Behaviorism today mostly **lost its influence** and let **cognitivism take its place** as the dominant paradigm.
