You can "Google" for a definition of each type of psychology and learn a whole bunch of stuff, or just accept my answer, which I "Googled"

Behaviorism can perhaps be best summed up by the following quote from the famous psychologist John B. Watson:

"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors."
--John Watson,Behaviorism, 1930
