Behaviorism and Operant conditioning
I think that behaviorism and operant conditioning are very closely related. Both theories are based on Pavlov’s dogs and the ringing of the bell. Behavior is all around us, it is in everything that we do. We do things to get a response whether it is good or bad. For instance, in the classroom, if we do good work and get bad grades then we continue to do good work. If we can get rewarded for turning work in late we will turn it in late every time. It’s human nature to do things because we like the way it makes us feel or because it has to be done.
