Glossary
of Some Terms Used in the Objective Science of Behavior
Created by William S. Verplanck,
Ph.D., The University of Tennessee at Knoxville, " The glossary,
then, is intended to provide an empirical vocabulary that can be used
by anyone in the science of "human" or "animal" behavior.
It may serve to familiarize its readers with some of the very great developments
in the study of animal behavior and to suggest their relevance to human
behavior. Perhaps it will clarify the status of some of the concepts that
have been used in both areas in the past. To some it may suggest, as it
has to me, new lines of research on humans. To others it may recommend
itself as a supplementary text."
