	<b>Johnb> B. Watson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Watson was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, and attended Furman University.
		Watson seems to have added the footnote because another article on subvocal speech by Anna Wyczoikowska was to appear in the same issue of the "Psychological Review." The theory of thinking as subvocal speech was not original to Watson.
		(Watson's borrowing from Sigmund Freud and other early psychoanalysts remains an unexamined aspect of his behaviorism.) Not commonly mentioned by modern critics is that Watson warned strongly against the use of spanking and other corporal punishment, and advised parents that masturbation was not psychologically dangerous.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- Commentary on Watson (1913) by R.H. Wozniak
		Watson was not the first to use objective, experimental methods in the study of behavior or to criticize psychology's use of the concept of "consciousness" or the method of introspection (Wozniak, 1993).
		Indeed, Watson himself was a "behavior man" long before he was a "behaviorist," and his manifesto was prompted at least in part by the striking contrast that he perceived between the objective nature of available behavioral methods and the then prevalent ideology of an introspective psychology defined as the science of consciousness.
		Watson's primary goal at Columbia was to provide a rationale for the legitimation of behavior methods that had long been in use.

		<b>Johnb> Watson was the only student in his college class to pass his final exam in Greek.
		When Watson was a young intro psych instructor at the University of Chicago in 1903 there was a student in his class named Mary Ickes who had such a crush on him that she wrote a long love poem to him in an exam book, instead of writing the actual exam answers.
		Watson is, in my judgment, the most important figure in the history of psychological thought during the first half of the century.

		Doctor Watson, as everyone in the English- and non-English-speaking world can tell you, is the companion of Sherlock Holmes, the rather-less-bright sidekick to the great detective and second member of the renowned sleuthing partnership.
		At the same time, general practice is rising in stature relative to that of the physicians and surgeons, and a modern day Watson could not assume he could drift into it as a soft option whenever he needed a bit of ready cash to support his latest wife.

	Watson, <b>Johnb> W.
		Dr. Watson and his students research currently focuses on experimental studies of the modification of the nucleon-nucleon (N-N) interaction in the nuclear mean field, through the study of polarization observables for nuclear reactions.
		Watson and his students and collaborators have been studying, specifically, spin observables for (p,n) reactions.
		An especially useful way to probe this modified N-N interaction is through the measurement of spin observables, which generally are sensitive to interference terms in the reaction amplitude, and therefore to subtle modifications of the interaction.

	Behaviorism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Watson coined the term "Behaviorism" as a name for his proposal to revolutionize the study of human psychology in order to put it on a firm experimental footing.
		Notably, also, Watson foreshadows Skinner's ban on appeals to inner (central nervous) processes, seeming to share the Skinnerian sentiment "that because so little is known about the central nervous system, it serves as the last refuge of the soul in psychology" (Zuriff 1985: 80).
		Watson is, consequently, loath to hypothesize central processes, going so far as to speculate that thought occurs in the vocal tract, and is -- quite literally -- subaudible talking to oneself (Watson 1920).
