Having read all the responses, maybe the simplest thing would be to write back to the reviewer and ask for clarification.
Ah! you can't, it's anonymous!
Next best thing - ignore it.
Or be really brave and write into your manuscript that someone suggested that it ought to contain "deeper exploration and discussion of ... learner-centered behavioural science," but as neither you nor anyone else knew what the reviewer was talking about, you didn't waste your time trying.

Subject: Re: Learner-centered behavioural science
Thanks for the prompt responses, David.
I have been asked to address reviewer feedback in response to a
manuscript I submitted for publication. One (anonymous) reviewer has
commented that in terms of background, my manuscript needs "deeper
exploration and discussion of ... learner-centered behavioural science."
They don't explain further and therefore I am currently sending out some
feelers to see if the expression "learner-centered behavioural science"
strikes a chord with anyone involved in research in student learning.
If anyone has relevant suggestions as to possible meanings, I would be
most happy to hear from them.
Best wishes
Margaret
