Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book explains the philosophy of the science of behaviour and challenges the traditional answers to questions of behaviour as well as refuting common misconceptions about behaviourism. The author looks at the causes of behaviour, stimulation, instincts, perceptions, verbal behaviour, motivation and emotion and more, turning the explanation of behaviour inside out and calling for a drastic change in our way of thinking about man.
