Detailed explanation-1: -Watson rejected introspectionism as both unreliable and effete, and redefined psychology, instead, as the science of behaviour. The cognitive revolution, in turn, replaced the mind as the subject of study, and rejected both behaviourism and a reliance on introspection.
Detailed explanation-2: -Skinner criticized the idea of using introspection as a method for the study of nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Behaviorism did reject introspection as being too subjective. Behaviorists strove to make psychology a respected science, only studying observable behavior. Behaviorists wanted to apply the scientific method to variables that were objective, observable, and operationalized.
Detailed explanation-4: -Skinner developed behavior analysis, especially the philosophy of radical behaviorism, and founded the experimental analysis of behavior, a school of experimental research psychology.
