Behaviorism is also the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behavior without reference to mental process. “The key word in psychology’s definition is science,” (Meyers 5). John B. Watson could have showed Julie his research from his experiments with his conditioned responses. “Working with Rosalie Rayner, Watson championed psychology as the science of behavior and demonstrated conditioned response on a baby who became famous as ‘Little Albert’,” (Meyers
