Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tabula rasa position, which holds that the mind is a blank slate at birth and that all learned behaviors are the result of conditioning, was a major reason for the rise of behaviorism. A, B, and C are all valid reasons for behaviorism's ascension, but D is inaccurate as it is a reason why the tabula rasa position was seen as superior, not a reason for behaviorism's dominance.
