The widespread misrepresentation of behaviorism in the scientific and popular literature has caused its contributions to the understanding of behavior to be systematically ignored or denied. This misrepresentation is manifested in large part as a form of academic folklore that codifies erroneous accounts of behaviorism's assumptions, findings and goals. This article examines three representative "case histories" of the academic folklore about behaviorism its alleged environmentalism, totalitarian aims, and intelectual intolerance. Because academic folklore has been highly resistant to the corrective efforts of behaviorist explicit strategies are suggested for identifying and correcting folklore and for promoting more effective interdisplinary communication
