This is a video lecture about the theory in the philosophy of mind known as 'Behaviorism.' The reading that this lecture is based on was written by David Armstrong, who was not himself a behaviorist, but he gives an excellent summary of the view. Behaviorism is the theory that being in a mental state just is being disposed to exhibit a certain type of characteristic behavior. This lecture of part of an Introduction to Philosophy course.

Behavioralism seems unimaginably guilty of missing the simplest point ever, which is that dispositions are still privately experienced. I can't wrap my head around how a person could ever suggest that external behaviors are a complete account of the stuff of minds without being a literal zombie.

There's a joke about Behaviorism I red a view weeks ago but I just now get it. It goes something like this:
What does the Behaviorist say to his wife after he made love to her?
"It was cleary good for you how was it for me?"

I am an Expressive Arts Therapy student who has just begun the study. This video lecture is such a gem! It's intriguing, clear, and has a really nice flow like a story. OMG Love it! Thanks for boosting my attention and interest. I learn a lot.

1) love your video's they are my consistent go to for revision and essay plan writing
2) anyone else getting major Vsauce if Vsauce was a Philosophy professor energy?

16:05 - I'd like to counter this example.
Even if you were unable to tell what it is exactly that you're feeling, you're still feeling it. You don't sigh heavily and grit your teeth just because, you do it because there's some unpleasant feeling in your mind. You can't quite name the feeling, but you do know that it is there, and that it is unpleasant, and that that, even if without your conscious input, makes you display those behaviours. Someone else might be able to name your feeling and have a better idea where it came from, but nonetheless they don't have greater knowledge of your mind than you do, they are simply better educated in psychology.

I love the way you just write some words on not-existing board! Great content! Thanks for my new disposition to speak about behaviorism.

Bro you're such a great professor I can't

Thank you very much! I am watching you as a Master's student in philosophy from Turkey. Your content is very useful and fun :)

I am an accountant taking a philosophy class at the moment. I was really hopeful going into this class that I would enjoy it, but I was finding it difficult at first...my brain just thinks differently I suppose. Your videos are really helpful to break it all down!

You are actually so good. thank you

The difference between a methodological and radical behaviorism comes down to one question.
What is a reinforcer?
For a methodological behaviorist, a reinforcer is any event virtual or real that changes any attribute of behavior, from rate to intensity to form.
For a radical or biological behaviorist, a reinforcer is a positive change in a specific neurologic state that is embodied by an affective tone or feeling.
The latter definition was proposed by the radical behaviorists John Donahoe and David Palmer in 1994, and was independently confirmed by the affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge in the same and following decades. Donahoe and Palmer proposed a neurologically grounded definition of reinforcement. Reinforcement reflected a discrepancy principle, when behavior is continually mediated by the activity of dopamine neurons elicited by continuous correction error between predictions and outcomes. Dopamine scales with the importance of the reinforcer, and is responsible for a feeling of energy and arousal, but not pleasure. The reinforcement principle from methodological behaviorism is still the guiding principle of present-day behaviorists or behavior analysts, but discrepancy principles are now core to incentive motivation theories in radical behaviorism as reflected by modern affective neuroscience.
The difference between these two principles is stark in both principle and practice. Whereas a methodological behaviorist is concerned about the effectiveness of reinforcers, a radical behaviorist Is concerned about how reinforcement induces affect. To a teacher, parent, society, or politic, the effectiveness of reinforcement is paramount. However, for an individual, affect in reinforcement is of first importance. The latter is reflected in the recent work of Berridge, who emphasized that behavior change must be oriented to eliciting continuous positive affect, which is epitomized by an active and meaningful life. With this perspective where individual feelings are critical for motivation and positive affect or āhappinessā, the metric for success for behaviorists is not behavioral control, but individual freedom, and a behaviorally engineered society that focuses on constructing the avenues that enrich the meaning or value of life, or an individualās fully realized self-control in a free society.

How is that a counterexample? Crude behaviorists say, in effect, "Let's redefine the words, so that the terms normally used for all these unobservables we don't believe in refer instead to these other things (the overt behaviors associated with them), which includes changing the set of situations they apply to, so that a person normally described as experiencing but not acting on an unobservable mental state no longer is within the scope of the word for that mental state." And the zinger is supposed to be just the final clause of their goofy suggestion, instead of the observation that their suggestion is pointlessly goofy.
What's the story of this glass? Well, the glass is composed of a particular mixture of silicon, oxygen, probably a little boron or something, arranged in a particular jumbled-up way that happens when the molten material is cooled too quickly to crystallize. Dispositions have physical explanations, but the dispositions themselves aren't physical. They're abstractly-specified collections of possible physical states. And if we're going to allow that kind of thing, then we lose any impetus for behaviorism.

Big thanks from Germany! I'm studying philosophy and this explanation helped me a lot :)

Imagine if someone told you a very private, very important, secret. One that you would never tell no matter what anyone could do to you (say, for example, the location of nuclear launch codes). If you were a strong willed person, and set out to keep private the secret, you would have no disposition to exhibit the exact behavior of someone who really knew the answer (namely, to tell someone the secret) yet that would not change the fact that you know it, in your mental state.

Thank you youāve done very well, with talking about the ideas behind behaviouralismā¦ā¦.Next?

At last, philosophy lectures I can sorta understand. šššš

Thank you, great explanation. Will definitely check out more of your content!

As a retired professor with little to do, I found myself attracted to philosophy. I really enjoyed listening to your content.
