Behaviorism  According to B. F. Skinner, meaning is the modern version of idea. Like an idea, a meaning is said to be expressed or communicated by an utterance. A meaning explains the occurrence of a particular word in the sense that if there had been a different meaning to be expressed, a different word would probably have appeared. Meaning has certain advantages over ideas because they have the possibility to be located outside the skin, and thus, according to Skinner, meanings can be observed directly.Sellars, Wilfrid. 1980. "Behaviorism, language and meaning." Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 61:3-30.Skinner, B. F. 1947. Verbal Behavior. ch. 1. Psychology
