He is remembered for his theory of [[emergent evolution]], and for the experimental approach to animal psychology now known as [[Morgan's Canon]], a principle that played a major role in [[behaviourism]], insisting that higher mental faculties should only be considered as explanations if lower faculties could not explain a behaviour.
