6. Behaviourism

6.1. assumes that

6.1.1. Behaviour is Predictable and Measurable

6.1.1.1. through

6.1.1.1.1. Stimulus and Response- Mind as a "Black Box"

6.1.2. All behaviour is learned from the environment

6.1.2.1. through

6.1.2.1.1. Repetition and Reinforcement

6.2. is used for

6.2.1. Classroom Management

6.2.1.1. such as

6.2.1.1.1. Behaviour Modification- "Shaping"

6.2.1.2. can lead to

6.2.1.2.1. Competitive Environments

6.2.2. Motivation

6.2.2.1. such as

6.2.2.1.1. Gamification

6.2.2.1.2. Positive Expectations

6.2.2.2. can lead to
