What is behaviorism?

• creating associations and creating a knowledge set useful for living.

• how humans process and store information was very important in the process of learning.

• focuses on the idea that are learners learn through interaction with the environment.

• focuses on how learners construct their own meaning

A naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary and unlearned response. In Pavlov’s dogs, the food.
