A school of psychology that focuses exclusively on observable behavior and rejects the study of internal mental states as unscientific.
From 'behavior' (from Old French 'avoir,' to have) + '-ism.' Founded by John B. Watson in 1913.
Behaviorism says 'forget the mind — let's study what we can actually SEE.' Watson and Skinner built a whole science around observable actions.
