Theories of Behaviorism and Operant Condition or Learning

Theories of behaviorism relate to principles that seek to explicate behavior in terms of overt or observable actions and responses. Behaviorism is essentially defined by the theories proposed by John Watson and B.F. Skinner, which highlight the stimulus and response mechanism as a way to observe and understand human behavior. Behaviorism highly values observable behavior because it is a manifestation of internal behavior that is measurable and may easily be recorded (Nevid, 2012). Behaviorists such as Watson and Skinner argue that the observable and measurable nature of overt behavior makes it an essential and reliable gauge of human behavior. Continue reading...

Through the years, debates have risen over the efficiency of incarceration in stopping and preventing a recurrence of criminal behavior in the society.

The classical school of thought believed that employees of an organization would work maximally if provided with the optimal condition of the working environment. This school of thought ignored to a greater extent the notion of human Continue reading...
