“ Behavior ” Does Not Mean “ Behavior of the Organism ” : Why Conceptual Revision Is Needed in Behavior Analysis
This paper considers two different meanings of the word behavior and the implications of these meanings for how we talk about behavior. The paper argues that discussions about social justice issues would be more effective if these implications were fully grasped. The paper begins by discussing the etymologically-original meaning of behavior, which equates the word with conduct. A second meaning...
متن کاملRealism about Behavior
Behavior analysis emphasizes the study of overt animal (human and nonhuman) behavior as a subject matter in its own right. This paper provides a metaphysical foundation for such an emphasis via an elucidation of a thesis that I generically call “realism about behavior,” where by “realism” I mean an assertion of mindindependent existence. The elucidation takes the form of a conceptual framework ...
متن کاملReasoning About Class Behavior
We present a sound and complete method for reasoning about contextual equivalence between different implementations of classes in an imperative subset of Java. To the extent of our knowledge this is the first such method for a language with unrestricted inheritance, where the context can arbitrarily extend classes to distinguish presumably equivalent implementations. Similar reasoning technique...
متن کاملReasoning About Polymorphic Behavior
The standard approach to dealing with OO polymorphism is to require subclasses to be behavioral subtypes of the base class. This ensures that reasoning that has been done about any client code that operates on base class objects will continue to be valid if instances of the subclasses are used in place of the base class objects. But often we are interested in stronger properties of the client c...
متن کاملReasoning about Software-Component Behavior
The correctness of a component-based software system depends on the component client's ability to reason about the behavior of the components that comprise the system, both in isolation and as composed. The soundness of such reasoning is dubious given the current state of the practice. Soundness is especially troublesome for component technologies where source code for some components is inhere...
