Possible relations between Bernard and Skinner were pointed out in Psychology. Among
those the most important would be the probable Bernadian influence on the single subject
design (main experimental arrangement in Behavior Analysis). Even though many authors
mentioned this fact no research has focused on the analysis of this relation. The same as the
Single Case, other relevant issues between Bernard and Skinner were suggested but not
enlarged like their combat to mentalism in defense of the scientific practice. Thus, in order to
explore the gap on the intra subject method and deepen other connections already mentioned
this work analysed possible relations between the scientific conceptions of Bernard and
Skinner based on their own writings. Through a systematic comparison, both authors were
approached on specific topics like: interaction organism-environment, mentalism as scientific
embargo, induction or deduction as research reasoning and the Single Case method based on
its main characteristics. Despite the differences found the results obtained indicated that in
most of the analysed items there are evident compatibilities between Skinner and Bernard.
Some data confirmed aspects already studied in other researches while others were against
what some researchers said. The contributions made can diminish the gaps mentioned as well
as add provocations to the following question: do Bernard and Skinner own compatibilities
because they have similar interests or in fact, in any moment the thought of Skinner was
influenced by the science of Claude Bernard? |
