Clear Favor Boxes
According to the behaviorists,
learning can be defined as the relatively permanent change in behavior brought about as a
result of experience or practice. [Note: an internal event displayed by overt behavior;
contrasted with biological maturation or genetics as an explanation for relatively
permanent change.] In fact, the term "learning theory" is often associated with
the behavioral view.
Researchers who affiliate with this position do not generally look with favor on the term
"behavior potential" (i.e., may be capable of performing but did not for some
reason such as illness, situation, etc.) that was included in a definition accepted by
those with a cognitive or humanistic viewpoint. The focus of the behavioral approach is on
how the environment impacts overt behavior. The psychomotor domain
is associated with overt behavior when writing instructional
objectives. Cunia (2005) provides an excellent overview of the behavioral
approach applied to learning.
Behavior
analysis is the term used to describe the scientific study of behavior and
behavior modification is the term used to describe the application of behavior
analysis concepts and principles for the systematic or programatic changing of
behavior.
