contents THE CONCEPT OF FUNCTION IN THE ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIOR Mitch J. Fryling Linda J. Hayes Psicología function subject matter System building interbehaviorism behavior analysis The concept of function is central to the discipline of behavior analysis; it serves to characterize the subject matter of the science and is also used to distinguish behavior analysis from other approaches in psychology. In this commentary we assess the concept of function as it is used within behavior analysis. This is done through the perspective of interbehaviorism, with attention to implications for the validity and significance of behavior analysis as a scientific system. Problems are identified, and an alternative is proposed. Finally, the implications of the adoption of this alternative are reviewed. 2011 artículo científico 0185-4534 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=59319102002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=593 Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta Revista Mexicana de Análisis de la Conducta (México) Num.1 Vol.37
