Abstract

The basic principles of Skinner's theory, particularly his conception of science, behavior, organisms, etc., have not always been understood. This has led him to be criticized, often in a not proper guided way. We reply some of the frequently received criticisms: private behaviors, complex behaviors, the black box, its applicability and its effectiveness. In summary, through this work we intend to pay a tribute and spread what being a behaviourist means in today's psychology.
