What is Behaviourism?
Behaviourism is widely termed as the study of behaviour and aspects of behaviour, such as emotions, as observable and quantifiable sources. This view states that behaviour is a learned skill and everything that humans do can and should be regarded as behaviour.
For example, Behaviourists argue that language is a learned skill through the process of operant conditioning (positive and negative reinforcement), according to Skinner (1957).
