| Presidential Address: Behaviorism at 100 |
| Abstract: Access to vast amounts of information in almost instantaneous time, enabled by the Internet, is changing the nature of science. From a collection of relatively independent sciences developing specialized understandings of different subject matters, a single interdisciplinary enterprise is emerging on the premise that everything is related to everything else. In this enterprise, it is the relations among things not the things in relation which constitutes the subject of inquiry. The aims of this address are to explore the character and significance of this emerging Science of Relations, and to consider the implications of its development for behavior science in the foreseeable future. |
