New Topic: an Extra CAS Opportunity!!

Our next topic is Behaviorism. These are the sources Tzveta sent me:
http://www.funderstanding.com/behaviorism.cfm
http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/beh.html
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/behaviorism/
I haven't looked at them thoroughly yet, but I will soon. Meanwhile, we need several people to prepare small posters to put around the school campus. They should include some kind of picture and a question/statement connected to our topic. The point is grabbing people's attention. Also, the address of the blog should be put at the bottom, so that people can visit it if interested. I think it will be good for you, the members of the club, to read through some of the information, find something that you think will be interesting, and prepare a little poster (an A4 piece of paper) in order to popularize our club. Please send it to me before you print it and put it up, so that I can make any corrections if necessary. You will be able to get CAS hours for your work (Service included), so you may find this opportunity useful:) If you don't feel like preparing a whole poster by yourself, combine the work with another member. If you have any questions, ask me.

This is all for now.

Congratulations for posting the links on time :)
The discussion will flow more easily if you formulate a few general questions which can help the participant focus their reading and analysis of the information.

P.S. The article by Dr. C. George Boeree is very detailed and you should read it last if interested. The reading however neglects neobehaviorism, a development of behaviorism. Take a look at the following links. The first one is very brief and to the point, the second will give more details if you are interested and have the time:
