Explanation:

Behaviorism is a school of thought that prioritizes observable, measurable phenomena. Internal mental states like thoughts or feelings are subjective and cannot be directly, objectively studied or verified. Behaviorists focus on external stimuli and responses because these are the only aspects of behavior that can be empirically observed and measured reliably.

It is impossible to truly know what goes on in someone’s head
