Which one of the following is not a behaviourist psychologist?:

This question was previously asked in
HTET 2025 Level 1 PRT Question Paper (5-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Jerome S. Breener

Jerome Bruner was a cognitive psychologist known for his work on constructivism, discovery learning, and the spiral curriculum, focusing on internal mental processes rather than purely observable stimulus-response behaviour.

This places him outside the behaviourist tradition, unlike Pavlov (classical conditioning), Thorndike (connectionism), and Skinner (operant conditioning), who are all foundational behaviourist psychologists.

Since Pavlov, Thorndike, and Skinner are all classic behaviourists, Bruner is the one psychologist who does not belong to this school of thought.
