The key component to this paradigm are **stimulus-response** (S-R) events resulting in **observable behaviors** which can be **measured**.
  
 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**.

-The key component ​to this paradigm are **observable behaviors ​and their measuring**. +Among below listed learning theories within behaviorist framework, connectionism presents an introduction ​to behaviorist learning ​and setting its frames. Classical and operand conditioning present true behaviorist learning perspectives,​ and sign learning finally forms a bridge from behaviorism to cognitivism which has replaced it in the second half of 20th century.

-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 learner'​s inner subjective representation of environment and learning history.+  ​* **does not explain all kinds o learning** since it ignores inner mind activities
