Description: (British Psychologist and Ethologist Who is Known for His Theory of Emergent Evolution)
C. Lloyd Morgan was a significant figure in academic psychology during the early 20th century. He was instrumental in shaping behaviorism with his influential concept called Morgan's Canon. Morgan conducted extensive research to differentiate between innate and learned behaviors, primarily in animals such as chicks, ducklings, and moorhens. His research underscored the significance of interpreting behavior in the most straightforward manner, avoiding attributing actions to complex mental processes when simpler explanations suffice.
