Recent Issues. Chapter 6: Whatever Happened to Psychology as the Science of Behavior? Quote 4
“Astronomers interpret the waves and particles reaching Earth from outer space by using what has been learned under controllable conditions in the laboratory—for example, in high energy physics. In a similar way we use what has been learned from an experimental analysis to explain behavior which cannot, at the moment at least, be brought under experimental control, such as covert behavior or behavior observed casually in daily life.” (p. 63)
