Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behaviourism was mainly developed by John Watson and his followers, who were highly influenced by Ivan Pavlov's work on classical conditioning. Therefore, the correct choice is C, which includes both Watson and Pavlov. Neither Gestalt nor Wundt had a significant role in the development of behaviourism, and Freud's ideas were different from those of behaviourism, as he focused on unconscious processes and psychoanalysis.
