Maybe, but it also underlines the problems/inconsistencies with their position.

Regardless of behaviourism, mind wandering is not called behaviour by psychologists because neither is eg recalling an episodic memory.

If you want to play with the pragmatics that's fine, but it's not how we use the word in psych usually. CC

I'm also w you. One of the characters of Behaviourism, as far as I'm aware, is it's insistence on behaviour that is measurable &quantifiable
