Answer:

Edward Tolman

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward Tolman was an American psychologist who introduced purposive behaviorism. It involves the objective study of a behavior while considering the purpose of the behavior. He believed that learning comes as result of a organisms interaction with its environment or knowledge about its environment.

Purposive behaviorism is different from behaviorism; purposive behaviorism is argues that behavior is goal oriented is usually focused on meaningful behavior.

Edward Tolman's maxim was "behavior reeks of purpose".
