Answer: (B) Nurture and Responses from Others
Behavioral psychology or behaviorism refers to a theory of learning and development in which all the behaviors are learnt through interaction with others and the environment. The process of such learning is called conditioning.
Behaviorism is only concerned with the observable relationship between the individual and their environment. This observable stimulus-response behaviors enable the behaviorists to study the phenomena in systematic and observable manner.
The basis assumptions on which behaviorism works are as follows:
- All behavior is learned from the surrounding or environment.
- Psychology should be seen as a science subject.
- The primary concern of behaviorism is observable phenomena and not internal processes like thinking, cognition, emotion.
- There is not much difference between learning in human beings and animals.
- Behavior is the result of stimulus and response.
As the basic assumption of behaviorism is that the development and learning because of the surrounding, the answer is "Nurture and Responses from others".
