behaviorisms
Learned habit tendencies
Behaviorisms is the plural of behaviorism, the psychological theory that observable behavior—not mental states or consciousness—should be the focus of scientific study.
The plural typically appears when distinguishing between different schools or variations of the approach, such as methodological behaviorism versus radical behaviorism.
The various behaviorisms of the mid-twentieth century shared a rejection of introspection as a valid method.
