Make the 21st-century behavior analysis section its own section?
[edit]Whether it deserves its own section or its own page, it certainly does not belong in the Philosophy section. Indeed, the Philosophy section needs modification. While it does provide a link to the Logical behaviorism page (which, by the way, is woefully empty, which is surprising given just how much there is to say on the topic), there should at least be a brief discussion of what logical behaviorism is, and possibly how it relates to both methodological and ontological forms of behaviorism. This would probably also be an excellent place to include the criticisms launched against behaviorism by people like Hilary Putnam and Daniel Dennett. I would be happy to write this up myself if there's general agreement that these changes ought to be made. Yanssel (talk) 12:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
Adding other behavior analytic techniques like habituation and counterconditioning
[edit]This page should feature other behavior analytic techniques like habituation (desensitization/exposure therapy) in the classical conditioning section and counterconditioning (like covert (i.e., mindfulness, meditation) and overt (i.e., breathing, exercising) conditioning - although all of these behavior therapy techniques (including operant contingencies) can also be cognitive-behavioral. Further, CBTs is a discipline of behavior therapy that overlaps with behaviorism/behavior analysis and we should briefly discuss that somewhere in the body. ATC . Talk 22:39, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Uncertainty about a recent edit regarding experimental behavioral studies
[edit]I was reviewing a recent edit by User:Bgeditor4 (Special:Diff/1112050665) where they added a brief paragraph regarding a behavioral neuroscience journal published by the APA in 1807. They seemed to use the publishing of the book and the supposed similarity between "behavioural psychology" and "behavioral neuroscience" to infer that research on behavioral psychology was conducted as early as 1807. I couldn't decide whether it would be acceptable to address this edit as unreferenced original research. PolyversialMind (talk) 00:43, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

How does this differ from Behavioralism?
[edit]Behavioralism appears to be very similar. My instinct is that it's really the same but perhaps someone misheard the term or something? Thedonquixotic (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's... kind of the same? There's a ton of inconsistent terminology. I've seen very closely-related ideologies called behaviorism, behavioralism, and a talk by David Pearce on Arrow's theorem calls it "positivism" in the context of economics (no relation to logical positivism or positivism in sociology), where it's closely associated with the work of Lionel Robbins. The same idea appeared in all the behavioral sciences at around the same time.
- I think this should be split into two articles: one on behaviorism in psychology, and another on behaviorism/behavioralism in all the behavioral sciences. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
