Assumptions

• All behaviour is learned
• Ignores mental processes

  Mind is like a black box, you cannot look into it
• Focuses on observable behaviours
• Rejects the idea of introspection

  Seemingly too vague and difficult to measure
• Uses lab experiments

  More control and objectivity in their research
• Tabula Rasa

  Blank slate

  All behaviours are determined by our experiences, upbringing, friends and family lives
