17. Mind and Body / B. Behaviourism / 4. Behaviourism Critique
Conditioning may change behaviour without changing the mind [Scruton]
     Full Idea: Conditioning involves a change of behaviour, but not necessarily a change of mind.
     From: Roger Scruton (Animal Rights and Wrongs [1996], p.16)
     A reaction: I am inclined to doubt this. If I was conditioned in some way, I would expect my conscious state to change as well as my behaviour.
