Behaviorists believe that all humans are born blank slates. One major tenet of behaviorism is that the environment presents stimuli to humans,
which cause behavior to occur, thus every behavior is determined based on what
the environment presents. Also, the behaviors of animals and the behaviors of
humans are the same, so humans can learn from the behaviors of animals. Classical and operant conditioning are two
ways in which the environment can produce stimuli from which we behaviorally
respond. Modifications to behavior can
be made via reinforcement or punishment of satisfactory or unsatisfactory
behavior.
