Science and Human Behavior, Chapter 8: The Controlling Environment, Quote 11

Science and Human Behavior“. . . “interpretation” is like . . . “attention” . . . we need not find a particular form of behavior to be identified with it. We “interpret” a stimulus as smoke insofar as we tend to respond with behavior appropriate to smoke. We “interpret” it as fog insofar as the probability of a different repertoire is increased.” (p. 140)
