Sources
- found: Intl. dict. med. biol. (behaviorism, also called behavioristic psychology)
- found: Cambridge dict. of philosophy, 1995 (behaviorism: broadly, the view that behavior is fundamental in understanding mental phenomena. The term applies both to a scientific research program in psychology and to a philosophical doctrine. Accordingly, we distinguish between scientific (psychological, methodological) behaviorism and philosophical (logical, analytical) behaviorism.)
