Hence, as yet I haven't uncovered what the commonalities might be between behaviorism and developmental epistemology. - behaviourism B has a focus on observables, such as behaviour. Piaget's developmental epistemology PDE has the same commitment to verfiability and evidence that, in the final analysis, has to be based on agency/action. - but there are major differences too; notably an action for Piaget is [i] meaningful, [ii] known to its agent, [iii] value-laden and [iv] norm-laden. Skinner would take this quartet and "explain each away", i.e. reduction to something else, or marginalised into oblivion. Further,?there is more [more phenomena, and richer explanations] in PDE; of course, anyone content with their counterparts in B will?stay put with that. |
