Contrary to “common wisdom,” behavior analysts have been tackling the problem of consciousness for some time. The effort began with Watson and was addressed by Skinner and Goldiamond, whose approaches share much in common with that of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. This history is traced and a behavior analytic approach described that provides a basis not only for behaviorist work, but for the neurosciences as well.

- Describe the role of instructional control in understanding private experience.
- Explain the role of question-asking in the development of consciousness.
