== Relational frame theory ==

This paragraph on philosophy of psychology seems out of place to me. It would appear to be a niche issue with adherents among a small contingent of psychotherapists, and is not warranted on the general philosophy of science page. It is difficult to follow and is not referenced. 

:A notable{{by whom?}} recent development in Philosophy of Psychology is [[Functional contextualism|Functional Contextualism]] or Contextual Behavioural Science (CBS). Functional Contextualism is a modern philosophy of science rooted in philosophical [[pragmatism]] and [[contextualism]]{{citation needed}}. It is most actively developed in [[behavioral science]] in general, the field of [[behavior analysis]], and contextual behavioral science in particular (see the entry for the [[Association for Contextual Behavioral Science]]){{citation needed}}. Functional contextualism serves as the basis of a theory of language known as [[relational frame theory]]<sup>[[Functional contextualism#cite note-1|[1]]]</sup> and its most prominent application, [[acceptance and commitment therapy]] (ACT).<sup>[[Functional contextualism#cite note-2|[2]]]</sup> It is an extension and contextualistic interpretation of [[B.F. Skinner]]'s [[radical behaviorism]] first delineated by [[Steven C. Hayes]] which emphasizes the importance of predicting and influencing psychological events (including thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) with precision, scope, and depth, by focusing on manipulable variables in their context.{{citation needed}}

Perhaps editors on this page prefer to have a long article with many niche components. But I thought I'd flag it and, depending on responses, relegate it to a more specialized page. [[User:Vrie0006|Vrie0006]] ([[User talk:Vrie0006|talk]]) 19:37, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

== Article issues and classification. ==

Greetings. I didn't look at the article's history but this article fails the [[WP:B-class criteria|B-class criteria]] #1 with "citation needed" tags from 2017 and 2018. There are unsourced sentences and paragraphs and added unsourced sentences after an inline citation. There are also "weasel-worded phrases from October 2017" and 2019. --  [[User:Otr500|Otr500]] ([[User talk:Otr500|talk]]) 07:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

== does Bayesian interpretation of Science make sense here? ==

It is arguable that science operates like a Bayesian process. Although I am not sure about how deep the phil literature about bayes and science goes. [[Special:Contributions/103.171.118.111|103.171.118.111]] ([[User talk:103.171.118.111|talk]]) 15:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
