"All humans are members of the same body Created from one essence"

"Human beings are members of a whole in creation of one essence and soul. If one member is afflicted with pain, other members uneasy will remain."

Behaviorism


Behaviorism is the prediction and control of human behavior in which introspection and/or independent thinking play no essential part of its teaching methods.

To a behaviorist, human learning is purely an objective and experimental branch of natural science. There is no internal cognitive processing of information.

The behaviorist recognizes no dividing line between man and animal: both learn to behave solely through a system of positive and negative rewards. Behaviorists such as Pavlov, Skinner, and Bandura have contributed a great deal to the understanding of human behavior.

Behaviorism is a theory of learning that is based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner with no consideration of internal mental states.
