Animal behaviorism

Animal behaviorism is the scientific study of how animals act and why they do it. It examines the ways animals respond to their environment, other animals, and humans through learned habits, instincts, and biological processes. By understanding these behaviors, researchers and trainers can predict, modify, or reinforce actions using techniques like conditioning. The goal is to improve animals’ well-being, training, and interactions with humans, often applying principles from psychology and biology. Overall, animal behaviorism helps us comprehend the underlying reasons for animals' actions and how to communicate effectively with them.
