Some Thoughts on Thinking and Its Motivation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Traditional psychological formulations in the study of thinking have generated two general problems: 1) how thinking is related to language and imagining, and 2) how to study thinking given its covert nature. This paper critizes these approaches and proposes a conceptual revision of the term "thinking" from a wittgensteinian and aristotelic perspectives, and offers an alternative to the treatment of this subject by the operant conditioning theory, based on interbehavioral theory.
