Watson's Core Principles of Behaviorism

A psychologist is studying why a specific student consistently fails to complete their homework. The psychologist decides to focus only on observable events in the student's environment, such as the time of day the homework is assigned, the presence of distractions like television, and the tangible rewards or punishments the student receives from their parents for completion or non-completion. This approach deliberately avoids speculating about the student's internal feelings of motivation, their thought processes, or their unconscious desires. Which of the following principles is best illustrated by the psychologist's methodology?
