Behaviourism
The view that psychology should, or must, confine itself to describing observable physical behavior. Analytic behaviourism expresses this view as a view about the meaning of psychological words (i.e. That all such words can, and are implicitly, definable in terms of observable human behavior). B. F. Skinner, the Harvard psychologist (Verbal Behavior, Walden Two, etc. ) is a psychological behaviorist. Gilbert Ryle might be considered an analytic behaviorist.
