Today I'm gonna write something about a man called John Watson. I don't think he's the best in my area, because I really don't have knowns enough to choose that one...
Anyway... Watson was an American psychologist from the beggining of the nineteenth century, and he studied human behavior. He was the first in his area, who studied behavior as a result of many factors from the environment.I like his perspective to analyze behavior because I think it was very controversial at his time, when psychoanalysis -having internal impulses as basis of behavior- was the predominant movement. It's interesting because theoretically all humans get born with the same potential capacities, and even at present the environment and upbringing influence are obvious for everyone, in that time it was unthinkable.
I think he made a very important contribution to nowadays psychology. Watson formulated the basis of behaviorism, which today, is one of the most interesting philosophy of psychology.
