Instead of seeking common ground you and Wolf argue semantics.

And as to any sort of common ground, the fact is that behavior analysis is
so far superior to cognitive "science" that any collaboration would have
to be largely unidirectional. Much of what is being suggested today about
memory and perception within cognitive psychology was discussed decades
ago by behaviorists. The Roediger and Mcdermott memory illusion, for
example, was predicted by Skinner in Verbal Behavior in his discussion of
what he called "intraverbals." The sensorimotor view of perception pushed
by O'regan and Noe? C'mon. There's a quote from O&N concerning visual
representations in the brain that could have been lifted from Skinner's
"Behaviorism at Fifty," though I am sure it was not. There is plenty of
common ground, only behaviorists were talking about it a half century ago
and cognitivists lack sufficient scholarship and integrity (speaking
colloquially) to see that, and there[]

And behavior analysis provides a coherent view of mistakes like this.
Perhaps you would care to show us your grasp of the field by describing
them?


[]methods and conceptualization are simply inferior.
