Answer:

External and Internal

Explanation:

Watson emphasizes the behavior of people rather than their internal behavior. he just focused on the external behavior and reaction given on the situations. in his opinion, the analysis of action and behavior is only the objective experience and internal state of the people.

whereas Skinner's study was focused upon the internal behavior of people, concerned with observable behavior as it opposed to internal behavior like thinking and emotions. Skinner proposed Operant Conditioning.
