Adaptation versus phylogeny: the role of animal psychology in the study of human behavior
John Tooby,Leda Cosmides +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the output of complex, dynamical systems can be dramatically changed by only minor changes in internal structure, and the behavioral output of the psyche will be easily shaped by adaptive demands over evolutionary time, even though the modification of the neuro- physiological substrate necessary to create such adaptive changes may be minor.

Behavior is abstraction, not ostension: conceptual and historical remarks on the nature of psychology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the nontechnical nature of the term "behavior", the need to revisit the Aristotelian concept of soul as the prime naturalistic subject matter of psychology, the incompleteness of meaning when behavior is identified with movements or actions, and the implication of behavior in episodic and dispositional words and statements including mental terms.
On the role of theory in behavior analysis 1
TL;DR: This paper argued that the rejection of hypothetical constructs is one of the defining features of radical behaviorism and that the constructs employed by radical behaviorists are not qualitatively different from those often employed by cognitivists (e.g. "reinforcement") and that much of the basis for recent criticisms of cognitive psychology by behaviorists disappears.
