James Watson and Burrhus Frederick Skinner believe in Behaviorism. Behaviorism believe that any behavior, may it be animal or human being, can be conditioned given the right environment. This is neglecting the Cognitive theorists view because behaviorists believe that thoughts and feelings does not have any effect at all to e.g. psychological disorders.
