Watson’s Theory of Behaviourism

John B. Watson famously claimed that if he were to be given a dozen healthy infants, he could shape them into anything; doctors, lawyers, artists, beggars, or thieves, regardless of their background or genetic predispositions. First, he completed experiments with 8-month old Albert. He later applied his theory when raising his own children. In essence, he applied the scientific method to human psychology which he called behaviorism.
