AB 534 - Radical Behaviorism


This course is designed to expose students to B. F. Skinner's system of Radical Behaviorism, which underlies the vast majority of research and application in behavior analysis. Students will read B. F. Skinner writings which outline the tenants of Radical Behaviorism, and also develop competence in understanding the implications of this philosophy toward understanding complex, socially important behaviors such as problem solving and thinking.
