Some thoughts on the S-R issue and the relation between behavior analysis and behavioral neuroscience

Article Abstract:

The relation between behavior analysis and behavioral neuroscience is viewed as complimentary. The former contributes to a science of behavior by analyzing the control exerted by contingencies operating at the phylogenic, ontogenic and cultural levels. The latter, on the other hand, fills the spatial and temporal gaps necessary in behavioral analysis. It is suggested that the underlying neural mechanisms that mediate the selection of behavior through reinforcement be specified as this knowledge would open new avenues for the control of behavior.

Neuroscience and learning: Lessons from studying the involvement of a region of cerebellar cortex in eyeblink classical conditioning

Article Abstract:

An overview of how a variety of techniques are used to explore the involvement of structures and systems in the brain in encoding a relatively specific learned behavior by explaining the involvement of the cerebellum in classical eyeblink conditioning. It seems that the pattern of synaptic connectivity between the brainstem and the cerebellum limits the order of stimuli that can produce behavioral learning.

Relations among functional systems in behavior analysis

Article Abstract:

The behavior analysis can be widened by studying the variables in functional analysis of biological systems. A quantitative study of the biological is possible when behavioral analysis is included.
