purposive behaviorism is a branch of psychology that was introduced by edward tolman. it combines the objective study of behavior while also considering the purpose or goal of behavior. tolman thought that learning developed from knowledge about the environment and how the organism relates to its environment. tolman's goal was to identify the complex cognitive mechanisms and purposes that guided behavior. his theories on learning went against the traditionally accepted stimulus-response connections (see classical conditioning) at this time that were proposed by other psychologists such as edward thorndike. tolman disagreed with watson's behaviorism, so he initiated his own behaviorism, which became known as purposive behaviorism.

teleological behaviorism









































teleological behaviorism is a variety of behaviorism. like all other forms of behaviorism it relies heavily on attention to outwardly observable human behaviors. similarly to other branches of behaviorism, teleological behaviorism takes into account cognitive processes, like emotions and thoughts, but does not view these as empirical causes of behavior. teleological behaviorism instead looks at these emotions and thoughts as behaviors themselves. teleological behaviorism differs from other branches of behaviorism through its focus on human capacity for self-control and also emphasizes the concept of free will.
