The Roots of Behaviourism


Add your own review!

Overview

"In his 1913 ""behaviourist manifesto"", John B. Watson urged psychologists to adopt a ""unitary scheme of animal response...(that) recognizes no dividing line between man and brute"". His call was heeded. By the 1930s, methodological behaviourism and animal behaviour research were dominant features of the psychological landscape. While Watson articulated the intellectual commitments of behaviourism with clarity and force, wove them into a coherent perspective, and made it a cause, these commitments had adherents before him. To document the origins of behaviourism, this series collects the articles that set the terms of the behaviourist debate, includes the most important pre-Watsonian contributions to objectivism, and reprints the first full text of the new behaviourism."
