Cognitive science and the failure of behaviorism: quantum, classical and mind indeterminacies

Behaviorism guessed that it would be possible to model human behavior discarding, at the same time, internal variables and theoretical obscure terms like mental categories. Internal and innate variables would be intermediary steps that could be suppressed without prejudice to the necessary connection between stimuli and responses. The existence of classical and quantum indeterminacies appear to play no role in the theory. Cognitive phenomena were recruited when the behavioristic project failed to explain a large number of phenomena. New fields in science have emerged with the recruitment of new concepts such as complexity, self-organization and the abandonment of old concepts such as determinism and causation. The old tendency to proliferate substances subsuming dualism is now replaced by a new sort of dualism, not of substances but of predicates
