Abstract: | Comments on R. J. Herrnstein's (see record 1978-11330-001) article on behaviorism and agrees on the need for developing a taxonomy of animal behavior in place of environmentalism. However, retaining methodological behaviorism and its central place for a theory of reinforcement represents a commitment to a language of overt acts.
