Behaviorism

/bɪˈheɪ.vjə.rɪ.zəm/noun
ELI5 mode

Behaviorism is a school of psychology that emphasizes studying observable behaviors rather than internal thoughts or feelings, asserting that behaviors are shaped primarily by environmental stimuli and conditioning. This approach revolutionized fields like education and therapy by focusing on measurable actions and rewards, but in modern contexts, it's often critiqued for overlooking cognitive processes in human behavior.
