10th International Congress on Behavior Studies
The Congress was founded in 1992 by Emilio Ribes-Inesta and Peter Harzem as the “International Congress on Behaviorism and the Sciences of Behavior”. The Congress has been held in alternate years, in many different countries. The current shorter name was adopted in 2004 and reflects the mission of the Congress: Contributions to the program from all perspectives are welcome, regardless of whether favorable to behaviorism or not, so as to facilitate well-informed exchange of views. The only criterion for inclusion in the program is the quality of scholarship. The main foci of the congress are: behaviorism as a philosophy of science and empirically based issues in the sciences of behavior. Submissions from all disciplines concerned with behavior, including psychology, economics, sociology, political science, anthropology, as well as the historical studies of these and other related disciplines are welcome.
Peter Harzem passed away in 2008. As a way to remember his legacy and honor his contribution to the Science of Behavior, the Program Committee is committed to carry on the conference in the spirit of disseminating cross fertilization of the study of behavior. We hope all who present and attend will continue to support our effort to broaden behavioral studies and facilitate an exchange of knowledge and ideas between different approaches. We look forward to a stimulating, spirited, but relaxing meeting in the wonderful Lisbon.
