Behaviorist
It was John Broadus Watson who found a new school of thought which focused on observable behavior and environmental factors.
Behaviourism is a school of thought in psychology that focuses on observable behaviors rather than mental processes. It asserts that behavior is learned through interactions with the environment, often through conditioning processes like reinforcement and punishment. Behaviourists believe that behavior can be controlled and modified through these processes.
B. F. Skinner was part of the behaviorial school of thought. He came up with the idea of operant conditioning.
The emphasis on observable behavior and learning in contemporary psychology reflects the impact of behaviorism, a school of thought that focuses on studying behaviors that can be directly observed and measured. Behaviorism rejects introspection and focuses on how behaviors are learned through environmental influences, such as reinforcement and punishment. This approach has been influential in shaping contemporary psychological research and practice.
Pavlov and Watson's ideas influenced the school of behaviorism, which focused on observable behaviors and the influence of environmental factors on learning and development. They emphasized the importance of conditioning and reinforcement in shaping behavior.
The school of thought in psychology that systematically avoided the study of consciousness during the first half of the last century was known as behaviorism. Behaviorists believed that psychology should focus solely on observable behaviors, rather than subjective experiences like consciousness. This approach was championed by psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.
As a graduate of a homeschool program (American School, which is accreditted regionally)I can say that it depends on the individual student, just as in public and private school. Your GPA is reflected by how much time, effort, thought, and meaning you put into your studies. In order to compare the GPA of homeschoolers with that of public and private school children you would need to compare the GPA of students putting the same time, effort, thought, and meaning into their studies.
