studying someone’s behaviors are affirmative thereby without using machines. • Behaviors learned through experience; hence |
• This process takes much
time to understand human behavior hence a one- dimensional approach. • It does not account for |

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 |
