Radical behaviorism is a "philosophy of the science of behavior" developed by B. F. Skinner.[1] It refers to the philosophy behind behavior analysis, and is to be distinguished from methodological behaviorism—which has an intense emphasis on observable behaviors—by its inclusion of thinking, feeling, and other private events in the analysis of human and animal psychology.[2] The research in behavior analysis is called the experimental analysis of behavior and the application of the field is called applied behavior analysis (ABA),[3][4] which was originally termed "behavior modification."[5]
