My behavior made me do it: The uncaused cause of teleological behaviorism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
Toward a neurobiologically grounded approach to explaining self-control we discuss the case of a patient with a bilateral lesion in frontal ventromedial cortex. Patients with such lesions display a marked deficit in social decision making. Compared with an account that examines the causal antecedents of self-control, Rachlin's behaviorist approach seems lacking in explanatory strength.
