Although behaviorists emphasize environment they almost totally deny the influence of biological variables on development.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea of development isn't limited to the entity that is developing. The development of a subject is caused due to the contribution of a number of factors. One such important factor is the environment that the subject is living in.

It is argued that when behaviorists study development, they take into consideration what impact the environment makes on the development of the subject but leave out on studying the impact of biological factors present in the same environment.

It would be the behaviorists who emphasize the environment above all else and disregard the biological variables on development as they believe that reactions are either the result of the environment or the reactions are the results of the person's history coupled together with the person' controlling stimuli and motivation.
