The most prominent early behaviorist in the US.
Who is John B. Watson?
This field of study focuses on understanding how the brain processes information and how humans think, perceive, and learn.
What is Cognitive Science?
Measures oxygen levels in blood as indirect measure of brain activity in various brain regions
What is Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging?
Human cognitive processes.
What does Artificial Intelligence explore?
Tells us little about numerous psychologically interesting processes.
What is the behaviorist approach?
A precise definition that specifies exactly how a concept is to be measured.
What is operational definition?
This term refers to the mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through experience, thought, and the senses.

What is automatic and controlled processing?
Study relationship between damaged portions of the brain and cognitive deficits
What are Brain lesions?
Signals handled at the same time and uses the human brain vs. computer as model.
What is Parallel-processing?
The growing support for the cognitive approach.
What is cognitive revolution?
Was inconsistent with strict behaviorist doctrines because cognitive maps are internally represented pieces of information that can be stored.
What is a concept of a cognitive map?
