Prática BCBA

A client tells his BCBA that he feels a 'wave of dread' before entering crowded stores and then leaves. A colleague says the feeling should be left out of the analysis because only publicly observable events are proper scientific data. How would a radical behaviorist respond?

• AThe colleague is right; private events fall outside a natural science of behavior and should be ignored
• BThe feeling is a private event that is itself behavior and can be analyzed with the same principles as public behavior
• CThe feeling of dread causes the leaving, so treatment should change the feeling before the leaving
• DThe feeling is real but belongs to a separate mental realm that needs its own set of principles
