Behavioral Psychology (Two Volumes)

Watson is considered the originator of behavioral psychology. Taking "stimulus-response" as the core, it emphasizes the decisive influence of environment on personality. Through small animal experiments and research on young children, the conclusion is deduced that all human development originates from the initial stimulus-response, and the impact of negative reactions on personality is profoundly discussed, which can be summarized as the internalized castration of nature by life. Modern science has also confirmed that the expression of genetic potential depends largely on the environment. The core is the decisive influence of environment on personality. The theory is based on materialist pragmatism and advocates the objective study of behavior rather than introspective consciousness. The goal is to observe, predict and control behavior, and is based on the Pavlovian stimulus reflex principle. However, Watson is an extreme environmentalist who emphasizes external factors and ignores people's subjective initiative. It has historical limitations and needs to be viewed in light of the social background of the time. Personality is the final product of all our habit systems. The higher the degree of environmental change, the higher the degree of personality change.

Behavioral psychology has made a significant contribution to the development of modern psychology. From the 1920s to the 1950s, it has always been the most advanced thought in the field of psychology. Behavioral psychology made psychology truly independent of philosophy and theology, and was an important step in promoting psychology to become a mature science. Psychology has since become a natural science. However, with the development of society at that time, behavioral psychology was once again denied. Behavioral psychology advocated some visible and tangible characteristics rather than the traditional introspection method.

Behavioral psychology was the most influential school of psychology in the early 20th century. Before that, the functionalist school of psychology headed by William James dominated. The functional school believes that consciousness is a tool for the body to adapt to the environment to achieve survival purposes, and its task is to describe and explain the "adaptive function" of the state of consciousness. All in all, behavioral psychology has made significant contributions to the development of modern psychology. It has existed and developed for more than half a century. From the 1920s to the 1950s, it has been the most advanced idea in the field of psychology. Behavioral psychology truly separates psychology from philosophy and theology, pushing psychology to take an important step in the direction of a mature science, and psychology has thus become a natural science. Of course, due to the limitations of society at that time, many theories of behaviorism gradually became outdated. Among them, the S-R theory was very one-sided, which to a certain extent hindered the study of consciousness in psychology. The rise and fall of behavioral psychology warns people that as psychological science researchers, only by grasping the pulse of the times, facing up to the limitations of current psychology, and constantly innovating one's own theories and ideas can psychology endure.

The author John Watson, born in 1878, is a famous American psychologist and the founder of behaviorist psychology. In 1915 he was elected president of the American Psychological Association. Major research areas include behaviorist psychological theory and practice, emotional conditioning, and animal psychology. His paper "Psychology as a Behaviorist Views" is generally regarded as the formal declaration of the establishment of behaviorist psychology. His representative works include "Behaviorism" and "Behavior: An Introduction to Comparative Psychology". This book is his famous work in which we can learn more about psychology.

Behavioral psychology is a school of psychology that originated in the United States in the early 20th century. Its founder was the American psychologist Watson. Behaviorism holds that psychology should not study consciousness, but only behavior. Behavior is the combination of various physical responses that an organism uses to adapt to changes in the environment. These reactions are nothing more than muscle contractions and glandular secretions. Some of them are expressed outside the body, and some are hidden inside the body, with varying degrees of intensity.

Just like Watson said, "Give me a dozen healthy babies, and I can train them to be any kind of character." It turns out that our behavior can be shaped by the environment and conditions. This brings me to Human Frailty, which is also a book that explores human behavior and relationships. I find both books inspiring and worth reading.

Great, this book should be read in conjunction with materialism, Yangming Mind Theory and praxeology. Put consciousness second, know in action, and expand the theory of personal behavior to social behavior. The language habit system, movement habit system, and emotional habit system together constitute the behavioral personality system. For the behavior of learning, intermittent positive stimulation can enhance the learning effect. The learning process requires the joint participation of language, movement and even emotional systems to achieve the most effective learning behavior. Specifically, in the process of learning theories and rules, there is less involvement of movement and emotion, and it is very inefficient to only rely on language to drive thinking to form habits. Therefore, the effect of brushing up on questions is more obvious than learning by reading textbooks. So are there other learning methods that can combine language movement and emotion? I thought I could try role-playing after setting a scenario.
