According to Skinner, the most critical characteristic of science is
<u>"an attitude valuing empirical observation."</u>
Skinner trusted that human conduct, similar to some other normal marvels, is liable to the laws of science, and that analysts ought not credit internal inspirations to it. In spite of the fact that he dismissed interior states (contemplations, feelings, wants, and so on.) as being outside the domain of science, Skinner did not deny their reality. He just demanded that they ought not be utilized to clarify conduct.
Skinner trusted that science has three fundamental attributes.
- First, science is cumulative
- second, it is an attitude that values empirical observation, and
- third, it is a search for order and lawful relationships.
Skinner trusted that the essential objectives of science are to anticipate, control, and depict. He additionally trusted that logical behaviorism can achieve every one of these objectives since it lays on the presumption that human conduct is resolved and legal.
