 | | Watson knew, as all psychologists do, that a theoretical perspective will be no more influential than the productivity of its methods, and in a section of some fifty pages, he offered students a methodological handbook for the new behaviorism. |
 | | Watson emphasized external and peripheral factors at the expense of internal and central ones; he sought broad generalizations across individuals and species; his approach was holistic and dynamic, not structural-mechanical; and, above all, his goals were experimental control and engineering, quite independent of evolutionary concerns."
