Clarifying behaviorist

It is designed as made ??"molecular", i.e. by analyzing the connections between input and output. Burrhus Frederic Skinner is considered the father of Behaviorism (or behaviorism) and His study derived most of the experimental data underlying the behaviorist theory learning. Other exponents of this trend, dominant since the early decades of the last century to 1960, are Ivan Pavlov, John B.Watson, Clark Hull, Edward Thorndike, Guthrie, Skinner, and Thorndike. According to behaviorism learning when there is a connection expected between a signal in the environment (stimulus), a behavior (response) and a consequence (reinforcement). With experience and practice the bond gets stronger and the time between the signal and the behavior is reduced increasingly.
