New Free-Access Website Builds Information on the Natural Science of Behavior

The new BehaviorInfo.com website is now public, with plenty of freely accessible scientific information on behavior, especially human behavior, with mostly normal human–behavior examples. And, like www.behaviorology.org, anyone anywhere may access it ad free.

BehaviorInfo.com begins by adding a couple short articles each week to the growing number of articles that the site features. Originally carried by his local newspaper, the Los Alamos Daily Post, until the 2020 pandemic interrupted their publication, these newspaper columns—by behaviorologist Stephen Ledoux (Professor Emeritus of Behaviorology, SUNY–Canton)—provide a fairly complete overview of the natural science of behavior.

Why make these columns available? Because human behavior causes global problems and humanity needs changes in human behavior to solve these problems. As more people in general come to understand more of the natural science of behavior, the more help it can contribute to its share of the natural–science team efforts to solve individual, local, and global problems.

Across two sets of 72 columns each, all of Ledoux’s 144 columns will gradually take their upload turns. Both sets will accumulate on the site at the same time, because the first set of columns covers basic topics (principles, concepts, practices) while the second set covers advanced topics (methods, assumptions, extensions, implications, applications, interpretations). Based on the foundations of the first set, this second set includes some initial scientific answers to some of humanity’s ancient but as yet inadequately answered questions about concerns such as values, rights, ethics, morals, language, consciousness, personhood, life, death, and reality (plus newer questions about robotics and evolutions).

After those 144 columns are in place, other natural scientists of behavior, some behaviorologists and some behavior analysts, may provide additional articles that further inform interested readers while keeping the upload schedule filled. Will you provide a column or two? (Contact Ledoux to make arrangements.)

While not as extensively as the behaviorology.org website, BehaviorInfo.com also provides some information on a range of related peer–reviewed articles and books from the historical and current disciplinary literature of behaviorology, the label that many use to denote “the natural science of behavior,” which is quite a mouthful. This label is appropriate, because this science and its applications (e.g., Applied Behavior Analysis—ABA) are neither a part of nor any kind of psychology.

While this website does not sell books, its information includes sources for the books that it mentions.
