Post category:Skinner's Quote of the Day

The task of physiology is not to find hungers, fears, habits, instincts, personalities, psychic energy, or acts of willing, attending, repressing, and so on . . . Its task is to account for the causal relations between input and output which are the special concern of a science of behavior. (p. 316)
