 The research carried out by both scientists focused on observations, free use of anecdotes and an emphasis on emotion and inner states, “instincts”, “drives”, “motivational impulses” and “outward flowing nervous energy”.In 1973 they were awarded the Nobel Prize with Karl von Frisch (1886-1982) for animal behaviour and were the founders of the field of ethology.Though there are many differences between the schools of behaviourism and ethology, they agreed upon scepticism of the “folk” interpretations of over emphasising anecdotes to explain animal intelligence.
