Duncan watts did research with music if whether you like a certain type of music because of quality or everyone else likes it. He created a music site which about 15000 people could go to. And then can listen to songs and download them. There was 2 groups: see the song and then listen to it, and rate it and opportunity to download it. Evenly downloaded: they can see how many other people have downloaded that song after listening to it. Duncan set up 8 different communities and the people are assigned to one of these communities and can only see the views of that group. Associated historically with school of thought behaviorism ; around the 1900s. Scientific approach to psychology [has roots to behaviorism] by behaviorists: Many of the processes are basic in humans that could also be found in animals. Learning can be thought of as creating an association.
