Answer 1

Answer:

Behaviorsim

Explanation:

When John B. Watson developed behaviorism, he thought that any individual, no matter where he/she came from, could be trained in a specific way under the adequate conditions. Behaviorism holds that a person develops his/her behavior based on conditioning, and conditioning takes place when the individual interacts with the environment. Supporters of this theory think that we change the way we act depending on the environmental stimuli.
