This volume goes beyond theory and gives the empirical and
conceptual tools to conduct an experimental analysis of virtually
every substantive topic in human language and cognition, both basic
and applied. It challenges behavioral psychology to abandon many of
the specific theoretical formulations of its most prominent
historical leader in the domain of complex human behavior,
especially in human language and cognition, and approach the field
from a new direction. It will be of interest to behavior theorists,
cognitive psychologists, therapists, and educators.
Human language and our use of it to communicate or to understand
the world requires deriving relations among events: for example, if
A=B and A=C, then B=C. Relational frame theory argues that such
performances are at the heart of any meaningful psychology of
language and cognition. From a very early age, human beings learn
relations of similarity, difference, comparison, time, and so on,
and modify what they do in a given situation based on its derived
relation to others situations and what is known about them.
This volume goes beyond theory and gives the empirical and
conceptual tools to conduct an experimental analysis of virtually
every substantive topic in human language and cognition, both basic
and applied. As the term post-Skinnerian' suggests, this volume
challenges behavioral psychology to abandon many of the specific
theoretical formulations of its most prominent historical leader in
the domain of complex human behavior, especially in human language
and cognition, and approach the field from a new direction.
The need for a pragmatically useful analysis of language and
cognition is as enormous and varied as its extensions and
applications. This volume will be of interest not only to behavior
theorists but also to cognitive psychologists, therapists,
educators, and anyone studying the human condition.
