TIBI Releases Bookmark for a Contingency—Not Agency—Focused Autobiography

The International Behaviorology Institute (TIBI) has released another bookmark. This new bookmark celebrates the announcement of another new behaviorology book title.

The new bookmark celebrates the announced release of Stephen Ledoux’s 2022 book, Work Takes a Holiday—Confessions of a Natural Scientist of Behavior. This book provides a fully analyzed and documented autobiography focused on the contingencies that affected the directions, drama, and products of the author’s life. This book also introduces the possibility of a new grammar, one that provides more support for the natural science of behavior by reducing reliance on the personal pronouns that imply inner agents supposedly responsible for behavior. These pronouns should be taken as verbal shortcuts for longer, inconvenient, but more accurate phrases like “DNA–based carbon–unit locus of contingency effects.” That shows the value of verbal shortcuts!

This bookmark joins the other bookmarks that TIBI has released. TIBI makes these bookmarks available to any member or contributor (details are available on the Bookmarks page).
