Psychologism and Behaviorism
Let psychologism be the doctrine that whether behavior is intelligent behavior depends on the character of the internal information processing that produces it.

متن کاملIntentional psychologism

The Reflexive-Intentional Model of the Subject (RIMS) connects the subject’s bipolar probabilistic behavior with its mental domain. We demonstrate that the Matching Law is a formal consequence of this tie. RIMS allows us also to deduce theoretically the main patterns of animal behavior in the experiments with two alternatives where the Matching Law reveals itself. This finding inclines us to pu...
