Portrait

[edit]

It would be good to have a portrait of Madison Bentley for the article.

It appears that there is a portrait inside this publication: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1418148

But it may have usage restrictions. Born25121642 (talk) 13:58, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Theoretical Disposition"

[edit]

This section doesn't seem to make sense at all.

"Bentley opposed both the behaviorism and mentalism movements of psychology. In his view, psychological functions were different." - Different from what?

"They surmounted a distinction between the organism and the environment." - What/ who did?

"The environment was absorbed by the organism." - This is meaningless?

"Research into psychological functions ought to describe the functions modes and derivations." - According to whom? Worded as such, this does not even appear to be attributed to Bentley? S-amf-ninetyseven (talk) 00:24, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
