Behaviorism is a good way to understand how people behave, but it can be limiting if it's applied to all situations./nModern psychology has developed a more nuanced understanding of how people behave, and this is called evolutionary behaviorism./nBehaviorism can be reinforced by providing rewards, but it can also be reinforced by providing conditions that make the behavior more likely to occur./nIt is important to be aware of the context in which a behavior is occurring in order to properly reinforce it.
