In §5.7, K&W argue that behavioral psychology doesn’t make any predictions at all (at least not without hidden mentalistic assumptions). What is this argument?

The Argument for Methodological Behaviorism (§6.1)
- 1. Scientific data must refer to publicly observable
events.
- 2. Physical events are public; mental events are private.
- 3. Therefore, reports of physical events (like behavior)
can be scientific data, but reports of mental events can’t.
