On the Expressive Potential of Behaviorist Language

Strike, Kenneth A.

American Educational Research Journal, 11, 2, 103-20, Spr 74

The article treats two central doctrines of behaviorism, namely, peripheralism and associationism, as doctrines which place semantic and syntactical constraints on acceptable language for the discussion of human beings, and assesses the consequences of these doctrines for the description of educational goals and methods.
