Edward Tolman

Explanation:

Edward Tolman was an American psychologist who introduced purposive behaviorism. It involves the objective study of a behavior while considering the purpose of the behavior. He believed that learning comes as result of a organisms interaction with its environment or knowledge about its environment.
