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**.

-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. ​+This learning paradigm can roughly be divided in two phases: **behaviorism (1910 - 1930)** and **neobehaviorism (1930-1955)**. Neobehaviorism outgrew classical behaviorism by attempts to formalize ​the laws of behavior (sometimes in forms of mathematical equations) and beliefs that learning can also occur indirectly through observing. Neobehaviorists are sometimes considered a transitional group that shifted dominant learning perspective toward [[learning_paradigms:​cognitivism]].
