ABSTRACT
I still like my own definition of ‘radical behaviorism’ better than any other I have seen yet: ‘radical behaviorism is the effect that Skinner’s thought happens to have on the behavior of people’ (Day, 1983, p. 101). What I really like about this definition is that it is behavioral: in essence it is a general, or shorthand, description of a particular set of contingencies. I shall return to this definition at the end of this chapter.
