Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Watson and Skinner focused on the acquisition of behavior through conditioning and reinforcement. Watson believed that behavior was shaped by the environment, while Skinner developed the concept of operant conditioning, which involves reinforcing desired behaviors and punishing undesired behaviors to shape the individual's behavior. They did not share the objective of treating disorders, using mental imagery, or discovering unconscious conflicts.
