How did the behaviorists’ view of the role and task of human subjects differ from that of the introspectionists?
Watson documented to one of his students Lashley that the reflex which is conditioned “functions so perfectly in introspection place that it demands to be taken home, one can function on humans in the similar way as on animals and with the similar view point.
Watson demonstrated conditioning in provision of substitution of stimulus. A reaction is conditioned becoming connected or attached to a stimulus apart from the one that initially fomented it.
Watson followed this way since it gave a detached method of examining behavior, of decreasing it to its primary units, the response-stimulus bonds. Since, all behavior can be decreased to such elements, the method of reflex which is conditioned allowed psychologists to carry out lab experiments of complicated behaviors of humans.
