based on his own experiences with patients (almost exclusively Victorian middle-
| | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | |
School of thought asserting that behavior is governed by stimuli (detectable
| | | | | | | | | | |
input) that prompt responses, which produce consequences that determine
| | | | | | | | |
whether we'll do similar things in similar situations later (also known as Stimulus-
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Response Psychology). - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Behaviorism
| | | |
"Father of behaviorism" (1878-1959). Thought it unworthy of psychology to study
| | | | | | | | | | |
consciousness as it's unobservable (subjective reports of subjects). He wanted to
| | | | | | | | | | |
study behavior as it can be measured objectively (verifiable). - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-John B. Watson | |

determining behavior. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-B.F. Skinner
