 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**.

-Influences+Among the 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 form a bridge from behaviorism to cognitivism which has replaced it in the second half of 20th century. ​
