Can teleological behaviorism account for the effects of instructions on self-control without invoking cognition?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
In its commitment to eschewing internal causes, the teleological behavioristic analysis endeavors to explain self-control through the temporal patterning of behavior, but it leaves unanswered the most challenging questions. It fails to account convincingly for experimental findings in which self-control behavior was predictably changed by verbal instructions to think about and imagine the rewards in different ways.
