Mentalism and Radical Behaviorism

As a future ABA professional, understanding how the field of behavior analysis differs from other psychology fields is important. Behavior analysts use objective and behavioristic statements to describe phenomena they observe. At this point in your studies, it is important to start eliminating mentalistic statements from your vocabulary to help you to begin thinking like a behavior analyst.

Use the Mentalism and Radical Behaviorism Template provided in the Resources area of this assignment to complete the following:

  • For the 10 phrases or sentences provided in the template, identify whether the statement provides a mentalistic or a behavioristic explanation for a behavior.
  • Write a summary, explaining the reasoning behind your choices. You are not required to provide an individual explanation for each statement.
  • For each of the mentalistic explanations you identify, provide a behavioristic explanation as an alternative.
  • Analyze how the behavioristic approach is different from most other psychology fields.
    • How would a mentalistic approach inform one’s practice?
    • How would a behavior analytic approach inform one’s practice?

Assignment Requirements
