Environmental determinists attach importance to the role of education and environment in children's psychological development, but they unilaterally emphasize and mechanically treat the role of environment or education, and think that children's psychological development is completely determined by the environment. The earliest representative of this school is American behaviorist J Watson.
He wrote: "Give me 12 healthy babies, a special environment at my disposal, and let me raise them in this environment. Regardless of their parents' talents, hobbies, inclinations, abilities and races, I promise to train any one of them to be any kind of person-a doctor, a lawyer, an artist, a big businessman, even a beggar or a robber.
