THOUGHTLESSNESS.PART 31

Given that for the first half of 20th century,the behaviouralists focused so much of their theories and practices on the study of rats and pigeons.How then do you then juxtapose the reflection of rats and animals with the study and characterisation of the real nature of mental processes and human behaviour respectively?
Moreso,for well over a hundred years of bickering,since Wundth became the first mordern psychologist and opened the first mordern lab in Germany,as they could neither define nor clear the conflict of interest,surrounding their profession.
Was it not because of this conflict that the American psychological association fell?Inspite of the socially distinguished forays by Freudian School of psychology and Maslow and Rogers'humanist school,the gliding nebula still persists.Does it not sound too irrational,puerile and infantile to interpret rats'responses as the mental processes and to reflect human behaviour?Does it make sense as enthused by behaviouralist Skinner that"thoughts are internal coverts
