Claim that in order to fully understand psychology, we should not attempt to figure out hidden events but rather focus on things we can observe.
What is Behaviorism?
100
Lobe that plays a part in visual memory, language comprehension and houses the auditory cortex.
What is the Temporal Lobe?
100
Photoreceptors --> Optic Chiasm --> LGN --> V1 --> V2
