summary of behaviorist approach

Behaviorist approach emphases the role of stimuli in determining the way act. Human behavior develops during our childhood. Behavior in a particular situation helps us recognize what the right thing to do. Some behavior focus on learning by teaching the right behavior that can result a good and bad experience. Apply to reality, there are some situations and decisions in the past that required a behavior or response. This situations and decisions may be accepted and decided in a negative way. And you only realized it after the occurrence of that particular situation. The scenario teaches you on how to react or decide the situation the next time it will happen. It shows that the behaviorist approach distinguish the relationships of your behavior to the future events. There are some assumptions of behaviorism like the concept of parsimony- explanation to an event. Association- connection of ideas and events. Your response is dependent on the stimuli or stimulus surrounds you. The reaction or response maybe studied before applying or sudden behavior that will occur.

Behaviorist approach contributed the understanding in order for us to act properly and led some effective therapies for some behavioral disorder.
