Reflections on Behaviorism and Society. Chapter 4: Humanism and Behaviorism. Quote 1

“There are gaps in time and space between behavior and the environmental events to which it is attributed, and it is natural to try to fill them with an account of the intervening state of the organism. We do this when we summarize a long evolutionary history by speaking of genetic endowment. Should we not do the same for a personal history?” (p. 49)
