Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Free association, dream analysis, and projective techniques are not used by followers of Skinner because they focus on internal mental processes and assumptions about personality rather than observable behavior. Skinner believed that behavior was shaped by environmental factors and could be studied and manipulated through direct observation and experimentation, as well as the use of self-report procedures and physiological measurements.
