* In the 20th century, the initial influence of Behaviorism minimized introspective study of mental processes, emotions and feelings, which was replaced by objective study through experiments on behaviors observed in relation with environment.

Behaviorism ’ s objection to introspection focused much more heavily on its lack of reliability and objectivity which conflicted with behaviorism ’ s focus on measurable behavior rather than consciousness or sensation.

Behaviorism ( or behaviourism ), also called the learning perspective ( where any physical action is a behavior ), is a philosophy of psychology based on the proposition that all things that organisms do — including acting, thinking, and feeling — can and should be regarded as behaviors, and that psychological disorders are best treated by altering behavior patterns or modifying the environment.

Behaviorism was heavily influenced by Ivan Pavlov and E. L. Thorndike, and its most notable early practitioner was John B. Watson, who proposed that psychology could only become an objective science were it based on observable behavior in test subjects.
