The Behavior of Thinking
In the field of behavior analysis, thoughts (or the behavior of thinking) are referred to as private events. This behavior is unique because it only has one observer. “Who could that be?” you might be asking yourself. If you did not ask that aloud, then the answer is YOU!
Though our thoughts can only be observed by the thinker, many behavior analysts are in conclusion that our thoughts are subject to the same reinforcing and punishing principles that affect our visible, active behaviors.
