Sumario:Consciousness is here examined from point of view of Radical Behaviorism. Consciousness can be taken as the ability to describe verbally, in overt or implicit way, what one is doing. Consciousness also has to do with the control of behavior by rules. To follow a rule is to be conscious, in the sense of “knowing what one is doing” Radical Behaviorism considers verbal operants and consciousness as distinguishing features of human beings; both are a product of selection by consequences: verbal operants at the level of operant conditioning and consciouness at the level of the selection of cultures.
