Behavioral learning theory focuses on how the environment impacts observable behavior. Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior resulting from experience or practice. The theory views learning as a stimulus-response process, where behaviors are strengthened or weakened through reinforcement or punishment. Proponents such as Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner conducted experiments on animal conditioning to understand human behavior and argue it can be predicted and controlled through environmental manipulation.

3. Behavioral Learning Theory According to the behaviorists, learning can be defined as “the relatively permanent change in behavior brought about as a result of experience or practice.” Behaviorists recognize that learning is an internal event. However, it is not recognized as learning until it is displayed by overt behavior.

5. Behavioral Learning Theory The behavioral learning theory is represented as an S-R paradigm. The organism is treated as a “black box.” We only know what is going on inside the box by the organism’s over behavior. Stimulus (S) Organism (O) Response (R)

6. Behavioral Learning Theory The feedback loop that connects over behavior to stimuli that activate the senses has been studied extensively from this perspective.
