KembaraXtra-Psychology – Behaviourism
Behaviourism is a school of psychology that emphasizes the scientific study of observable behavior while rejecting introspection as unscientific. Founded by John B. Watson in the early twentieth century, behaviourism proposed that behavior is shaped primarily by learning through conditioning. Later developments, particularly through B.F. Skinner’s work on operant conditioning, refined the approach. Although strict behaviourism declined with the rise of cognitive psychology, its principles remain influential in learning theory and applied behavior analysis.
