Ulsterman JohnWatson was the son of a successful car dealer and this funded his early racing career.
John was to stay at McLaren throughout the changeover of management and when Ron Dennis and John Barnard moved in, Watson began to flourish.
After leaving F1 John drove a variety of other machinery in sportscar racing but moved on to work as a TV commentator and running a racing school at Silverstone.
Watson was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, and attended Furman University.
Watson seems to have added the footnote because another article on subvocal speech by Anna Wyczoikowska was to appear in the same issue of the "Psychological Review." The theory of thinking as subvocal speech was not original to Watson.
(Watson's borrowing from Sigmund Freud and other early psychoanalysts remains an unexamined aspect of his behaviorism.) Not commonly mentioned by modern critics is that Watson warned strongly against the use of spanking and other corporal punishment, and advised parents that masturbation was not psychologically dangerous.
