	Behaviorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Behaviorism or behaviourism is an approach to psychology based on the proposition that behavior can be researched scientifically without recourse to inner mental states.
		Radical: Skinnerian behaviorism; is considered radical since it expands behavioral principles to processes within the organism; in contrast to methodological behaviorism; not mechanistic or reductionist; hypothetical (mentalistic) internal states are not considered causes of behavior, phenomena must be observable at least to the individual experiencing them.
		Behaviorism is both a psychological movement and a philosophy of mind.

		Psychology differs from biology and neuroscience in that it is primarily concerned with the interaction of mental processes and behavior and of the overall processes of a system, and not simply the biological or neural processes themselves.
		Because all behavior is controlled by the central nervous system, it is sensible to study how the brain functions in order to understand behavior.
		This is the approach taken in behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and neuropsychology.

	Educational Psychology - Learnativity
		Educational psychology is the branch of psychology focused on the development of effective teaching techniques and the assessment of learners' aptitudes and progress.
		[Behaviorism] is seen most prominently in contexts where the objectives to be attained are unambiguous, where their attainment can be judged according to commonly agreed upon criteria of successful performance, and where a clear imbalance exists between teachers' and learners' areas of expertise.
		Cognitive psychology suggests that if education helps novices structure their new information, they will be able to use the structures throughout the life of that knowledge.

	Behaviorism & Computer Games
		Behaviorism fails to solve this dilemma, as the social nature of gaming demands a perspective less focused on individual conditioning by a single source.
		Rewards and punishments should be proportional to the behaviors that trigger them, and such feedback should perpetually shape toward desired behavior.
		Behaviorism should continue to inform interface design and other mechanistic aspects of gaming, and games research should seek empirical data.

		Clinical psychology and educational psychology, with their medical procedures and psychotherapeutics, became indistinguishable practices in mental hygiene and generally in school specializations such as child guidance and special education.
		Educational psychology, an extension of mental hygiene, had its "scholastic" content in this sense and was now defined as the hygienics and therapeutics of regulating how individuals think in and about the "tool and promotion" subjects (i.e., arithmetic, geography, history, reading, science, spelling, and writing).
		Educational psychology became an effective disciplinary technology for regulating how and what to think about a subject such as science and in effect, a way of regulating normality beginning at early ages.
