• This process takes much
time to understand human behavior hence a one- dimensional approach. • It does not account for |
behavior
Differences: Watson’s influence on behavior is pointed to the environment, while Skinner’s study said a person behavior is determined by the consequence that follows |
looking at those factors to determine why. | other types of learning factors that serve as reinforcers or punishers. |
