What is behaviorism?
• DefinitionBehaviorism is a theory of animal and human learning that only focuses on objectively observable behaviors and discounts mental activities. Behavior theorists define learning as nothing more than the acquisition of new behavior.
How are these new behaviors formed?
• PROMPTINGo Inducing the person to perform a desired behavior by
producing a prompt. For example, when you greet someone with “HELLO” you
expect a response. Your words are the prompt for the answer.
How are these new behaviors formed?
• FADINGo Fading happens when a teacher gradually reduces the
strength of the prompt. For example, providing modeling for proper name
placement on the overhead for a week, next every other day and then slowly removing the visual completely until it becomes automatic.
How are these new behaviors formed?
• POSITIVE REINFORCEMENTo New behaviors are formed by giving positive or
wanted stimulus that increases the probability of a response. Examples- smiling at a student, candy, selecting a child for
a special project, commending a student for his or her work.
