Quizplus · Accepted Answer

John Watson believed that behavior is controlled by stimuli in the environment, while B.F. Skinner believed that behavior is controlled by its consequences or the reinforcements that follow it. Therefore, the best choice is D, which states that stimuli elicit behavior and consequences control behavior. A is incorrect because free will is not a concept that Skinner focused on. B is incorrect because emotions are not the main focus of either Watson or Skinner. C is partially correct in that stimuli produce behavior, but it is not specific enough to differentiate between Watson and Skinner's theories.
