Conseqüências do Externalismo Behaviorista Radical
نویسنده
چکیده
Skinner ́s approach to a science of behavior is discussed with reference to the concept of “externalism” (the search for relations between the organism and external events). Skinner’s works, respectively, from 1938, 1953 and 1990, whose discourses deal with different explanations of behavior, are examined in order to emphasize his persistent concern with drawing a clear distinction between behavior analysis and (neuro)physiology. Certain aspects of Skinner’s writings, that seem to provide insufficient support for any definitive statement regarding the autonomy of a science of behavior, are highlighted along with resultant difficulties that have arisen in the literature of the field.

A radical extension of the category of $S$-sets
Let S-Set be the category of $S$-sets, sets together with the actions of a semigroup $S$ on them. And, let S-Pos be the category of $S$-posets, posets together with the actions compatible with the orders on them. In this paper we show that the category S-Pos is a radical extension of S-Set; that is there is a radical on the category S-Pos, the order desolator radical, whose torsion-free class i...
متن کاملDo hydroxyl radical-water clusters, OH(H2O)n, n = 1-5, exist in the atmosphere?
It has been speculated that the presence of OH(H2O)n clusters in the troposphere could have significant effects on the solar absorption balance and the reactivity of the hydroxyl radical. We have used the G3 and G3B3 model chemistries to model the structures and predict the frequencies of hydroxyl radical/water clusters containing one to five water molecules. The reaction between hydroxyl radic...
متن کاملRadical concept nativism.
Radical concept nativism is the thesis that virtually all lexical concepts are innate. Notoriously endorsed by Jerry Fodor, radical concept nativism has had few supporters. However, it has proven difficult to say exactly what's wrong with Fodor's argument. We show that previous responses are inadequate on a number of grounds. Chief among these is that they typically do not achieve sufficient di...
متن کاملO-29: Fertility Sparing Treatments in Young Patients with Gynecological Cancers: A Large Iranian Experience and A Literature Review
Background: The marriage age has been increasing recently throughout the world and researches have shown an increased rate of gynecological cancers among young women. Therefore, fertility sparing in these patients is an important point and many works have been done on conservative management in young women with gynecological cancer. Materials and Methods: In this study, we report our experience...
متن کاملQSAR Models of Reaction Rate Constants of Alkenes with Ozone and Hydroxyl Radical
As constantes de velocidade da reação do ozônio com 95 alcenos (-logkO3) e do radical hidroxila (•OH) com 98 alcenos (-logkOH) na atmosfera foram previstas por modelos de relações quantitativas entre estrutura e atividade (QSAR). Cálculos usando a teoria do funcional da densidade (DFT) foram realizados para os respectivos alcenos no estado fundamental e para as estruturas do estado de transição...
