While some methodological behaviorists accept that
there are mental states, they have ruled them
psychophysical parallelism
completely out of consideration. This is not a new
concept and was once referred to as .

behaviorism might be thought of as a psychological
methodological
version of logical positivism or operationism.

Structuralism relied on , which looked inward to
introspection
describe sensations, images, and feelings

"Behaviorism is not the science of human behavior; it
philosophy
is the of that science" (Skinner, 1974. p.3).

With , we look for the simplest explanation possible,
parsimony
not extensive mentalistic explanations.

In order to be excellent stewards of science, as
behavior analysts, we can follow a few guidelines
when gathering and evaluating evidence. This
bias, evidence, replication includes reducing ___ by ensuring interobserver
agreement, examining for actual ___(as opposed to
effects that could have produced changes without the
intervention), ___ , and self-correction.

Being scientifically skeptical means that until there is
evidence
available, assumptions should not be made.

"___ is more than the mere description of events as
they occur. It is an attempt to discover order, to show
science, lawful relations
that certain events stand in ___ to other events
(Skinner, 1953, p.6)."

In Pavlov's early research, he did not jump to
conclusions to suggest that the dog was "thinking" of
food, and therefore salivating. Instead, he carefully
mentalistic, explanatory controlled conditions that allowed him to show that
particular stimuli can "acquire" the ability to elicit
secretion. His careful analysis of the scientific method
allowed him to avoid both ___ and ___ fictions

The evolutionary explanation for reflexes indicates
that they are for the survival of the organism.
debilitating However, we know all too well that sometimes
responses can be conditioned that serve no purpose
- even add a __ purpose - to our complex lives.

Skinner (1953) informed us "Although the process of __
greatly extends the scope of the eliciting stimulus, it
conditioning, stimulus does not bring all the behavior of the organism within
control, novel such __ "(p. 56). Conditioning can add numerous
different eliciting stimuli, but it will never fashion a __
response.

According to Skinner, contingencies of reinforcement
have an edge over contingencies of survival because
prediction, control, contingencies of reinforcement "Have the edge with __
accessible and __ and the conditions under which a species
acquires behavior are relatively __ and can often be
manipulated".

is the learned behaviors of a particular animal during
ontogeny
its lifetime.

is behaviors that have been passed down over the
phylogeny
lifetime of the entire species.

It can be difficult to distinguish between ontogenetic
and phylogenic established behaviors. For a person
viewing a complex __ for the first time, it may seem
mysterious. But each step of the chain can be traced
back to the shaping process. Just because the shaping
chain, learned
process was not observed, it does not mean that it
was not __ . However, when we view a spider spin a
web "no comparable history can be invoked" to
determine the phylogenic contingencies at work
(Skinner, 1966, p.1208).

Moore (2015) stated " __ predispose an individual's
susceptibility to influence from the __ (p. 27). We must
be careful not to assert that genes "__ " behavior;
genes, environment, cause
rather, they set up the physical basis for the processes
and structures that participate in behavior. Behavior
still occurs in the context of the environment.

Imitative responses necessarily require the learner to
orient toward the __ rather than the topographical
model
correspondence of their behavior with respect to the
model.

The use of the mirror provides the additional
discriminative control
feedback required to receive __ of the model.

The most substantial origins of our understanding of
think operant behavior derived from Darwin's controversial
idea that humans were not unique in their ability to

Thorndike's __ succinctly explained that organisms
law of effect, pleasant, tend to learn new things when behaviors are followed
decrease by __ stimuli and that behaviors tend to __ when
followed by negative stimuli

It is also widely misunderstood that operant
conditioning suggests that organisms cannot control
free will their own behavior due to a lack of __. This is untrue, as
once the environment is understood, it can be altered
in our favor (Epstein, 1997).
