I've been looking through one of my text books and i realized that i don't quite understand something that i probably should. A little gap in my knowledge, if you will.
See if this sounds right. The behaviorists dominated American psychology from the 1920's-1960's. In the 1960's, the cognitive movement started, which exposed the limits of the behavioral perspective. Realizing they had problems, the behaviorists allied with the cognitive psychologists to create Behavioral-Cognitive psychology, with one of the dominate areas being social-learning theory?
Is that about right or did i just expose my ignorance of psychological history?
