title: A credo for a revitalized behaviorism: characteristics and emerging principles.
abstract: The fundamental assumptions of scientific psychology are examined by asking three key questions concerning the accessibility, analyzability, and reducibility of mental processes. It is concluded that current research does not support the premises of mentalistic cognitive psychology and that we should return to a modernized version of behaviorism if psychology is to prosper as a valid science.
