“Cognitive science takes the traditional position: Behavior starts within the organism. We think and then act; we have ideas and then put them into words; we experience feelings and then express them; we intend, decide, and choose to act before acting. Behaviorists, in contrast, look at antecedent events in the environment and the environmental histories of both the species and the individual.” (p. 94)
