Abstract

Many behavioral science practitioners do not appear to understand basic behavioral concepts and may easily misuse and misunderstand behavioral language. The notion that the non-linear nature of the neural system requires a perspective based on either general systems theory or chaos theory in order to describe EEG training, and that a behavioral conceptualization is inadequate, is unjustified. All aspects of effective EEG training programs can be described in behavioral terms. Behavioral language is particularly useful for identifying and describing important components of the training procedure.
