Expert Solution
Step 1

-Behaviorism: In psychology, the term "behaviorism" is also represented as "behavioral psychology", and is described as a specific theory related to learning on the basis of the idea that every behavior is acquired by the process of conditioning. Conditioning generally occurs via the interaction of an organism {animals, human beings} with the environment. According to behaviorists, an individual's response to his or her environmental stimuli tends to shape his or her actions. 

Example: A mother rewards her child for doing his homework on time by giving him a candy bar.
