Inglese Russo Tedesco Spagnolo Francese Italiano Portoghese Polacco

The behaviorist advances the view that what the psychologists have hitherto called thought is in short nothing but talking to ourselves.

Citazioni John B. Watson:

Men are built, not born.... Give me the baby, and I'll make it climb and use its hands in constructing buildings of stone or wood.... I'll make it a thief, a gunman or a dope fiend. The possibilities of shaping in any direction are almost endless.
Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select--doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief, and, yes, even beggarman and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors. I am going beyond my facts and I admit it, but so have the advocates of the contrary and they have been doing it for many thousands of years.
The Behaviorist cannot find consciousness in the test-tube of his science.
