Watson. Behaviorism was the predominate model in psychology from the early to mid 1900's and is based on the principle that psychology should be seen as a science. He argued that behavior is observable and should be objectively and scientifically measured. Watson was primarily concerned with the relationship between observable behaviors and environmental events rather than on internal processes. Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) the intensive study, under controlled conditions, of how environmental stimuli and consequences regulate an individual organism's behavior.This is operant behavior, behavior that is based on the consequences of that behavior. The creation of EAB showed that the environment creates learned behaviors and has a functional relation. It also allowed scientists to manipulate the environment in order to increase or decrease an operant behavior. The theory of EAB was a result Skinners findings of the S-R-S model or three-term contingency.
