orphan date December 2009 Refimprove date January 2011 Purposive behaviorism is a branch of psychology that was introduced by Edward C. Tolman in the 1920s. The main idea was to broaden the scope of behaviorism by incorporating mental concepts such as purpose and cognition. Edward Tolman was first introduced to behaviorism, in Watsonian form, in a course he audited at Harvard with Robert Yerkes . ref Staddon, J 2001 The New Behaviorism p. 17 ref What drew his attention was the objectivity of this system which he believed made behaviorism genuinely scientific. However, he rejected Watson s view that behavior was simply made up of physiological reflex reactions to stimuli. While Tolman agreed with Watson s belief that the focus in psychology on behavior was essential, he felt that behavior could not be adequately assessed without applying some form of mental concept, which he called a purpose. Strict behaviorists like Watson viewed this idea as a violation to the objectivity of behaviorism but Tolman thought that mental aspects could still be objective and measurable as long as they were operationally defined. This was the theoretical groundwork that gave Tolman justification for proposing the many ideas behind purposive behaviorism. From 1920 to 1928, Tolman published numerous articles in the Psychological Review that attempted to objectively define such concepts as instinct , consciousness ... behaviorism when he published Purposive Behavior in Animals and Men , which summarized these theoretical ... application of purposive behaviorism, Tolman focused on studying cognitive maps, which he described ... cognitive maps were indeed present in animals as well as in humans.

Anecdotal cognitivism is a psychological theory and animal cognition term which entails attribution of mental states to animals on the basis of anecdotes, and on the observation of particular cases, other than those observations made during controlled experiments. It is opposed to behaviorism , where behaviorists are critical of anecdotal cognitivism, suggesting that controlled experiments are necessary to correctly measure stimuli and record observable behavior. Animal cognition Anecdotal cognitivism is often criticized by behaviorists using specific cases, such as that of Clever Hans , to discredit using anecdotal evidence in assessing animal cognition . ref cite web url http www.yorku.ca andrewsk documents Keeley Anthropomorphism.pdf title Anthropomorphism, primatomorphism, mammalomorphism understanding cross species comparisons last Keeley first Brian L. date 2004 publisher York University pages 527 accessdate 2008 12 19 ref In the case of Clever Hans , a horse was purported to be able to add and subtract using its hooves, and even answer questions surrounding European politics , but it was determined by later research that the horse s owner was in fact unknowingly cueing the horse , and that when he was removed from the room, the horse would not respond. Anecdotal cognitivists respond to behaviorists by saying that behaviorism would have the animals lose their minds , and that it is clear that by observation we can know a great deal about the cognitive processes of animals, and that the debate can start here, with simple observation, and not in a controlled setting or in a lab.

In the behaviorism approach to psychology, behavioral scripts are a sequence of expected behaviors for a given situation. ref name Barnett06 Barnett, D.W. et. al. 2006 . Preschool Intervention Scripts Lessons from 20 years of Research and Practice. Journal of Speech Language Pathology and Applied Behavior Analysis , 2 2 , 158 181 http www.baojournal.com BAO ref For example, when an individual enters a restaurant they choose a table, order, wait, eat, pay the bill, and leave. People continually follow scripts which are acquired through habit, practice and simple routine . Following scripts is useful because it saves the time and mental effort of figuring out an appropriate behavior each time a situation is encountered. Psychology American and Chinese social structure encourages a strong degree of behavioral scripts to be utilized within everyday interactions with others, and sociocultural norms dictate that humans utilize behavioral scripts. Some people may have a tendency to habituate behavioral scripts in a manner that can act to limit consciousness in a subliminal manner, which can negatively influence or affect the subconscious mind, and subsequently negatively affect perceptions, judgments, values, beliefs, cognition and behavior . For example, over reliance upon behavioral scripts combined with Norm sociology social norms that encourage people to utilize behavioral scripts may encourage people to stereotype others based on socioeconomic status , ethnicity, race, etc., and then subsequently develop prejudice toward other people that becomes subconsciously psychologically habituated and then manifested into personal behavioral scripts. Some applied behavior analysts use scripts to train new skills. ref name Barnett06 Some 20 years of research supports it as an effective way to build new language, social, and activity routines for adults and children with developmental ...

Unreferenced date January 2011 Motivating operations or establishing operations, are a concept in behaviorism involving the effectiveness of consequences in operant conditioning . They explain why a person wants or does not want something and why they act or do not act in a particular moment. History It was introduced by Jack Michael around 1980. Different terminology was introduced to describe the concept in 2004, changing it from establishing operation to motivating operation. Concept The concept primarily is concerned with the motivation of an organism, or what behavior a person will engage in a particular moment. It focuses on the idea that an organism is constantly fluctuating between states of satiation and deprivation of reinforcers. A simple example is created with food, food deprivation makes you want food and food satiation makes you want food less. A motivating operation with respect to motivation has two effects value altering and behavior altering. The value altering effect states that it alters the value of a consequence of behavior by making it more or less reinforcing. The behavior altering effect states that it immediately evokes or suppresses behaviors that have resulted in the consequence linked to the behavior in the past. The motivating operation of deprivation of food in this particular example would establish the stimulus of food as reinforcing and evoke behaviors that in the past have resulted in food, while the motivating operation of being satiated of food abolishes the stimulus of food s reinforcing effect and abates behaviors that in the past have resulted in food. Note that this concept is different than that of the stimulus discriminate. The stimulus discriminate is correlated with the differential availability of reinforcement, while the motivating operation is correlated with the differential effectiveness of a reinforcer. In B.F. Skinner ... three levels as CMOs. Category Behaviorism Category Behavioral concepts ... more details
