 Behaviorism
Logical positivism proposes that the meaning of statements used in science be understood in terms of experimental conditions or observations that verify their truth.
The outside (public) behavior of a person is not accounted for by referring to the inside (inner processing) behavior of the person (say, his or her internal problem solving or thinking) if, therein, the behavior of the person is unexplained.
An adequate science of behavior, he claims, must describe events taking place within the skin of the organism as part of behavior itself (see Skinner 1976).

“Science Fiction is a branch of fantasy identifiable by the fact that it eases the ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ on the part of its readers by utilizing an atmosphere of scientific credibility for its imaginative speculations in physical science, space, time, social science, and philosophy.” — Sam Moskowitz, in “Explorers of the Infinite” (1963)
“Science fiction is that class of prose narrative wtreating of a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesized on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-science or pseudo-technology, whether human or extraterrestrial in origin.” — Kingsley Amis, in “New Maps of Hell” (1961)
“Science fiction is that branch of fantasy which, while not true of present-day knowledge, is rendered plausible by the reader’s recognition of the scientific possibilities of it being possible at some future date or at some uncertain period in the past.” — Donald A.

 Langmuir's talk on Pathological Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A recent book, Voodoo Science by Robert Parks (Oxford, 2000) led us to the realization that the most seminal exposition on the topic, a talk on Pathological Science by Irving Langmuir is not available on the web and we set out to rectify this omission.
The talk was concerned with what Langmuir called "the science of things that aren't so," and in it he gave a colorful account of several examples of a particular kind of pitfall into which scientists may sometimes stumble.
It is transcribed from a tape recording, section number three, of the lecture on "Pathological Science" that I gave on December 18, 1953.
