Grew up in South Carolina, learned my craft in Illinois, taught in Maryland, died in New York, buried in Colorado. That’s more than most of you can say.
Go read “Psychology From the Standpoint of a Behaviorist,” “Behaviorism,” “Psychological Care of Infant and Child.” Probably out on ebook or as an audiobook somewhere. Too bad I burnt the rest of my unpublished works. Got a little too silly.
We’re you the president of the American Psychological Association in 1915? Didn’t think so! Did you get the APA’s award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions? Nnnope!!
Honestly, I’m the best psychologist. I was the one who really set the stage for modern day behavioralism. My methods and teachings are still used in therapy and behavioral trainings to this day. It can be used to learn a new skill or even forget a bad habit. #WatsonOnTop
My theory is pretty basic if you think about it:
Behaviors can be changed. It’s a reflex from stimuli,or a possible consequence from past interactions with the stimuli. However, the behavior experienced can be changed with the proper conditioning.
