Abstract

We have synthesized the philosophical proposals of seven influential contemporary behaviorists: B. F. Skinner (radical behaviorism), J. E. R. Staddon (theoretical behaviorism), H. Rachlin (teleological behaviorism), S. C. Hayes (functional contextualism), J. Donahoe (selectionism), A. W. Staats (psychological behaviorism), and E. Ribes (behavior theory). This review, based on some of their representative writings, includes a comparison between them about the next issues: concept of behavior, concept of cognition, relation with neurosciences, methodology encouraged, research issues, experimental findings, and critical aspects. We end with a graphic comparison of the behaviorisms on two axis: 1. more or less proximity to neurosciences, and 2. more or less proximity to cognitive psychology.
