Behavioral Psychology

Groups the schools and movements of the psychology atlas built on behaviorism's premise that observable behavior, not inner mental states, is psychology's proper subject. Belongs here: Behaviorism itself, Neobehaviorism, which refined it with intervening variables, and Radical Behaviorism, Skinner's stricter successor. A school built on a cognitive or clinical premise, even one that grew out of a reaction to behaviorism, is filed under that other branch.
