The strengths of the behaviorist theory is based on the stimulus being added, removed,
strengthened or weakened, to stimulate behavior (Harasim, 2012).
Behaviorist theory focuses only on predictability, and cognitivist theory focuses only on
information processing those are weaknesses of each theory (Harasim, 2012). Online learning is
dependent on using both theories for successful course design and instruction.
