PREREQUISITES TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A BEHAVIORALLY-BASED PROGRAM IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Abstract
Very often we are led to believe that the course of all scientific thinking is characterized by a highly formalized method of inquiry. Often, what is publically revealed is a summary of scientific behavior in a form which is compatible to some pre-conceived notions of how a scientific inquiry should be conducted. Such an approach in reporting the conduct of scientific experimentation leads one to surmise that there exists one method of scientific inquiry. The simple fact of the matter is that the nature of scientific thinking, or the manner in which a scientist behaves is, at times, a disorderly and haphazard process. Scientific behavior might be characterized by: (1) spontaneity of direction, (2) expediency, (3) luck, and (b) exploitations of error (Skinner, 1956).
