A strength of the behaviourist approach?

-Based on well-controlled research -Beahviourist focus on observable behaviour within highly controlled lab setttings. Behaviours into basic stimulus-response units which can allow for a cause and effect relationships to be established due to the control of extraneous variables. -Eg: Skinner was able to demonstrate how reinforment influence an animal's behaviour. This suggests that behaviourist experiences have a high scientific value to thier contribution to psychology as a science -However, a weakness of this is how it can't be applied to a real life setting due to low ecological validity of a lab experiment.
