Description:
John B. Watson founded behaviorism, a theoretical framework that revolutionized psychology by focusing on observable behavior and habit. Watson's famous "Little Albert" experiment demonstrated that emotional responses could be conditioned in humans, which has profound implications for understanding learning and behavior modification. His work significantly shaped the development of clinical psychology and behavior therapy, emphasizing the role of the environment and experience in shaping human behavior (VanMattson, 2023, Lecture 12).Added to timeline:
