About

Behaviorism is a school of thought and methodological approach within psychology that focuses exclusively on observable behavior as the subject of scientific inquiry. It posits that behavior is learned through interaction with the environment and can be understood and predicted through the analysis of stimulus-response relationships, thereby minimizing or rejecting the study of internal mental states as valid empirical data.
