Written by Maximus Peperkamp, M.S. Verbal Behaviorist

Dear Reader, 

 

As a verbalizer, this writer is capable of reliably stimulating, shaping and maintaining Sound Verbal Behavior (SVB) in the mediator. The distinction between SVB and Noxious Verbal Behavior (NVB) can be made because speaking and listening behaviors are natural, verifiable processes, which involve verbal as well as nonverbal responses. The effects of this writer’s public speech are evident in the public speech and the writings of others. 

In response to this writer’s public speech, the private speech of the audience is brought into public speech. People begin to say what they think and feel, because they respond to what this writer says what he thinks and feels. Behaviorology is the natural science of human behavior. It was established after radical behaviorists began to realize psychology was not going to accept or acknowledge the importance of behavior as a science in and of itself. They had assumed that their research would eventually change psychology, but they were wrong. 

Psychology couldn’t be changed from within by radical behaviorists, because it is based on superstitions and not on science. For the same reasons, religious people can’t be convinced by scientific evidence either. They will come up will all sorts of biases and still pretend they are scientific. Once a person, because of his study of radical behaviorism and behaviorology, becomes more scientific, his or her approach to life becomes incompatible with explanations, which simply don’t explain anything. Attempts by behaviorists to be accepted by psychology, have only led to the marginalization of behaviorism.
