- Abstract
We are describing and analyzing the reception of behaviorism in Argentina and Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s. We look deeply at two examples: the Universidad Nacional de San Luis and the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. In Argentina, the first psychological courses took place during the late 1950s and early 1960s when behaviorism was widely criticized. In the 1970s, exceptionally in San Luis, there was a group of students and young psychologists that were receptive to its model for ideological, professional and scientific reasons. In Brazil, during those decades, the creation of psychology undergraduate courses started to spread. Behaviorism has circulated through the didactic laboratory of behavior analysis in those psychology courses. The reception of behaviorism in these countries helps us to understand the circulation of psychological knowledge in different places. It also shows us how each one of these places incorporated behaviorism uniquely into its own context.
