Watson (1878-1958), the father of classical behaviorism, lays out a clear vision of his approach, which rejects mentalistic explanations and focuses exclusively on observable behavior. Watson argues that psychology should be an objective science centered on the relationships between behavior and the environment. This environment is not only immediate but also historical. Without the study of childhood, Watson asserts, it is not possible to understand adult behavior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout this work, Watson contends that human behavior, from emotions to complex habits, from memory to thought, is the result of conditioning acquired through interaction with the environment. Particularly unique are his evaluations of instinctive behavior, the interaction of the behaviorist approach with the theory of evolution, the duality between verbalized and non-verbalized behavior, or the process of development of private language, laryngeal or subvocal language, in Watson's words. His approach poses applications for both clinical psychology and education that would be explored throughout the following century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book proposes behaviorism as a scientific way to understand and transform behavior by suggesting that it can be molded. The always controversial Watson presents his mature approach in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Ways of Behaviorism\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The position of Watsonian behaviorism had a profound impact on psychological research and practice; without it, the behaviorist formulations of later decades or current experimental and applied behavior analysis cannot be understood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book is preceded by an extensive introductory study by Dr. John T.
