Abstract

Examina-se aqui a consciência na perspectiva do Behaviorismo Radical. Pode-se entender a consciência como a capacidade de descrever o que se está fazendo, de forma verbal, manifesta ou encoberta. A consciência também tem a ver com o controle do comportamento por regras. Seguir regras é ser consciente, no sentido de que quem se comporta "sabe o que está fazendo". O Behaviorismo Radical considera o operante verbal e a consciência como aspectos distinguidores do homem; ambos são produto da seleção pela conseqüência: o operante verbal ao nível do condi-cionamento operante; e a consciência ao nível da seleção de culturas.Consciousness is here examined from point of view of Radical Behaviorism. Consciousness can be taken as the ability to describe verbally, in overt or implicit way, what one is doing. Consciousness also has to do with the control of behavior by rules. To follow a rule is to be conscious, in the sense of "knowing what one is doing". Radical Behaviorism considers verbal operants and consciousness as distinguishing features of human beings; both are a product of selection by consequences: verbal operants at the level of operant conditioning and consciouness at the level of the selection of cultures.
