Editing Instinct (section)

==== John B. Watson ====
Watson (1924) approaches instincts from a behaviorist perspective, claiming that "instincts are complex, pre-programmed behaviors that can be conditioned into learned responses." While Watson acknowledges the existence of some innate behaviors, he argues that the majority of human behavior is learned through interaction with the environment, rather than being primarily driven by instinct.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Watson John B. |url=https://archive.org/details/behaviorism032636mbp/page/n29/mode/2up |title=Behaviorism |date= |publisher=Kegan Paul Trench Trubner And Company Limited. |others=Osmania University, Digital Library Of India}}</ref>
