key feature of behaviorism
Also known as behavior psychology are defined by conditioning. The concept of conditioning is the interaction with the nature. It is believed that our responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions.
Features of behaviorism are:
1.Learning through association
2.Rewards and punishments
3.Aversion Theory
In this content we would like to go through one feature of behaviorism. Lets go by the first one Learning through association. In this we train the one by associating things with them. Like if we train a dog we keep 2 thing bone and ball. we make him see both things and hide the bone so he will associate the ball with the bone. If he finds or play with ball he will get bone. Like this we can make small kids to associate food with a candy so that they will eat it.
There are three features of behaviourism. But here we are focusing on one feature that is association. This i would like to explain with example ringing bell in school is associated with going hone so whenever bell rings even kindergarten students understand its time to go home.
