The definition of behavioral learning is as follows, the relatively permanent change in behavior brought forth as a result of experience or relocation. My research paper is based on my understanding of the behaviorist theory and my similarities to its educational reasoning. The Behaviorist theory has been well known through out the education and phycology fields many decades and has contributed a great deal to the way we as Americans have learned to instruct or teach or students. John B. Watson is credited as the originator of behaviorism but it can be debated B. F. Skinner made a greater contribution to behaviorist. He took the study of behavior and made it a science. As I conducted my data collection for this research paper I read a few articles, which believed behaviorism has failed or will fail to truly be an effect learning theory. There reasoning behind this argument is for the most part wrapped around Skinner’s failure to provide validity for behaviorism and the intellectually development of language. While the opposition makes valid points, it is my similarities that encouraged me to elaborate further on this learning theory.

The physical development as it relates to behaviorist theory is interwoven in the fabrics of positive reinforcement and positive punishments. The rewards base system may provide a stimulus for students and encourages cooperation on a achievement basic. Children develop physically learning from their parents or guardians most often than not. While this is undeniable, it is my belief that behavior can repel negative physical development in children such as hitting or biting. Children who act in accordance with parental guidelines or approval should be given praise more often then tangible gifts. The opposite should be issued to children to deter non-constructive behavior.
