behaviorism in psychological explanation  

Définition(s)

  • In 1890, America's first great psychologist, William James, famously proclaimed psychology to be the science of mental life, whose main aim is to determine the correlation of various kinds of thoughts and feelings with brain activity. Despite the prominence of James's proclamation, a competing school of psychology—behaviorism—emerged less than a quarter of a century later, which represented a seismic shift away from psychology as a science of mental life and toward a science of overt action.
