Logical behaviorism (also known as analytical behaviorism)[1] is a theory of mind that mental concepts can be explained in terms of behavioral concepts.[2]

Logical behaviorism was first stated by the Vienna circle: C. G. Hempel, Otto Neurath and Rudolf Carnap.[3] A more moderate form of analytical behaviorism was put forward by the Oxford philosopher Gilbert Ryle in his book The Concept of Mind (1949).[4]
