This is a video lecture about the theory in the philosophy of mind known as 'Behaviorism.' The reading that this lecture is based on was written by David Armstrong, who was not himself a behaviorist, but he gives an excellent summary of the view. Behaviorism is the theory that being in a mental state just is being disposed to exhibit a certain type of characteristic behavior. This lecture of part of an Introduction to Philosophy course.
