There are many cultural practices related to generic terms such as “behavioral psychology” or simply “behviorism”. This paper develops Tourinho’s (1999) argument towards a classification where behavior analysis is the large area of behaviorist practice, that comprises three linked sub areas: radical behaviorism (a philosophy), experimental analysis of behavior (a basic science) and applied behavior analysis (an applied science and a technology). This paper describes these sub-areas and how they are irremediably related.
Keywords: behaviorism; behavior analysis; behavioral psychology.
