Watson realized that he could study the behavior of animals even though he could not ask animals questions simply by observing the relationship between any stimuli and an animal's response, with the term response being defined as any overt behavior.

Explanation:

The responses registered through facial expressions and other gestures made using various body parts are a part of overt behavior. Any behavior that involves non-verbal delivery of a meaningful message using nothing else but some body parts can be called as overt behavior. Hence, though it is not possible to talk to animals, it is easy to devise their responses from the overt behavior that they exhibit.
