| Abstract: |
Emphasizing immediacy of time and place of an experiment, operant behaviorism neglects the polymorphism of learning channels, social influence, exchange over time (diachrony) and over space (arbitrage), and institutions, and its proposed solutions disregard the complexities of culture.
