Abstract: Radical behaviorism makes the claim that private events are different from public events only in the number of individuals who can observe them. However, behavior analysts have yet to agree on if it is important to study private events or how to study them. The purpose of this event is to discuss the role of private events in behavior analysis and to determine the direction the field should take to further explore "the world within the skin" (Skinner, 1974, p. 24). This is a student committee organized event. |
