| - | Behaviorists view the mind as a "black box" and do not attempt to analyze its thought processes. They approach **learning as a visible change in ones behavior** which, unlike mind processes, can be measured. 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 the mind as a "black box" and do not attempt to analyze its thought processes. They approach **learning as a visible change in ones behavior** which, unlike mind processes, can be measured. 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** (usually in form of reward or punishment) increasing or decreasing the probability of repeating the same behavior. |
| - | 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]]. | + | 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**.
