行为
The act of discovery is not reserved for the genius alone.
The capacity of the human mind for formulating and solving complex problems is very small compared with the size of the problems whose solution is required for objectively rational behavior in the real world.
Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves.
Behavior is determined by the total situation.
Every cognitive act is an act of information processing.
Seeing, hearing, and remembering are all acts of construction.
The human being cannot live in a condition of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing toward something, he does not merely stagnate; the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity and despair, and eventually into destructive activities.
Behavior is a function of the field at the time the behavior occurs.
The behavior of the whole cannot be predicted from the behavior of its parts taken separately.
Behavior is not just a response to a stimulus, but is guided by expectations and purposes.
Purposive behavior in animals and men.
Behavior, as such, is not to be regarded as a mere chain of muscular contractions, but rather as a purposive and cognitive affair.
The only way to change behavior is through manipulation of reinforcement contingencies.
Behavior is determined by the current stimulus situation and past reinforcement history.
The concept of consciousness adds nothing to the explanation of behavior.
The laws of behavior are as precise as those of physics.
