  • Subjective/conscious experience was regarded as mental, not physical
  • not publicly observable, and could not be counted, measured, or recorded, at least not in the same way as the subject matter of chemistry or physics

  • regarded those movements as a subject matter of a different science--physiology, rather than psychology

  • The question that arose from metaphysical behaviorism was again whether we really want to deny the existence or reality of all phenomena that aren't publicly observable

  • logical behaviorism emphasizes that mental concepts in psychological explanations must be verified in terms of publicly observable behavior
