behaviorist approach

  I learn from the behaviorist approach that behavior can often be understood in different ways. The behaviorists emphasize links between the environment and behavior. It also determining the way we act, this means focusing on learning - changes in behavior which occur as the result of our experience. Example: behaviorist exclude changes due to fatigue, injury or drug effects.
 I learned more about positive reinforcer not by intuitive notions of satisfaction, but by the effect on behavior: if the reinforcer which follows a response makes that response more likely in the future, it is a positive reinforcer, it is similar to what is often called a reward. For example: I have a good grades then my parents see that they would be proud for me because they think that i study hard to get that grades.
