| Behavior: Observable changes in the describable state of living organisms that are initiated by these organisms themselves or that represent a reaction to external stimuli where there is a certain choice of reaction. Accompanying thoughts are not part of behavior, as otherwise an arbitrary extension of the frame of reference would make it impossible to determine behavior. See also Actions, Behaviorism, Mentalism, Naturalism, Observation, Method, Frame theories._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Phillip L. Ackerman on Behavior - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 162 Behavior/environment/differences/Ackerman: the traditional goal of personality assessment is to determine how an individual would behave when there is little or no environmental press on his/her behaviour (i.e., weak situations). >Method, >Experiments, >Personality, >Personality traits. Part of the rationale that underlies this approach is that the variability in behaviour across different individuals is expected to be much more restricted when the environmental press or situation is a strong one. >Behavior. Intelligence: Intellectual abilities, on the other hand, are traditionally assessed under ‘maximal’ performance conditions. (Ackerman 1996)(1). >Intelligence. 1. Ackerman, P. L.1996.
