John B. Watson, the founder of behaviorism, believed that all mental processes, including thinking, could be understood in terms of observable behavior. He suggested that thinking could be redefined as subvocal talking (a form of internal speech or silent speech), which involves movements of the vocal apparatus that can be measured. Therefore, thinking, according to Watson, could be observed and measured through its behavioral correlates, such as gestures or movements of the vocal apparatus.
