Purposive behaviorism is a psychological theory that integrates elements of behaviorism and purposeful (or intentional) behavior. Developed primarily by psychologist Edward C. Tolman in the early to mid-20th century, purposive behaviorism emphasizes the notion that behavior is not just a series of stimuli and responses, but also involves cognitive processes and purpose.
