This pilot study illustrates that the conceptual analysis of ordinary language helps the development of behavior analysis. There are two major approaches of modern psychology, cognitive psychology and behavior analysis. Each psychology accepts private events as the subject mater of each science, however the way of interpreting private events is completely different. In cognitive psychology, the private events are interpreted with using ordinary language directly and it remains folk psychology as a consequence. On the other hand, in behavior analysis, they are interpreted with redefined technical terms based on three-term contingency as a conceptual framework for analyzing behavior. However, this study shows the possibility of a new folk psychology in order to develop behavior analysis, through the conceptual analysis of the usage of "mind" ("Kokoro" in Japanese) in the Japanese verbal community.

Twelve male and twelve female students who rarely bake cakes were given instructions on how to beat eggs. The students were divided into three groups according to the type of instructions: verbal instructions only (VI group), verbal instructions plus a videotape of the process (beating eggs) (VI+PC group), and verbal instructions plus a videotape of the product (the beaten eggs) (VI+PD group). The VI+PC group saw a videotape of an expert beating eggs. The VI + PD group saw a videotape of the eggs when they were finished by the same expert. The duration of beating eggs was shortest for the VI+PC group, while the quality of the resulting sponge cake was the best for the VI+PD group. Although videotape is often presented as a convenient modeling tool, behavior analysts need to determine what aspects of the videotaped model are effective in training new behavior.

Blood analysis is an important tool for health management. Our zoo succeeded in being the first in the world to train our mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx), to allow venipuncture using only behavioral restraint. Two mandrills at Omuta City Zoo participated in this project, one male (A) and one female (B). We used PVC pipe to create a sleeve that could be attached to the enclosure and set a bar inside of it so that the mandrill would grip it underhanded, thus presenting the inner side of the arm. By partially blocking the top half of the inside of the sleeve, the mandrills were guided to use an underhand grip. This simplified the training, with less stress for both animals and keepers. The needle insertion was done into the cephalic vein. We used sweet potato as the unlearned reinforcer and a dog whistle as the learned reinforcer. The process was as follows: 1) excitatory conditioning, 2) gripping, 3) gripping underhanded, 4) avascularization, 5) epilation, 6) needle insertion. Training was held once a day for an average of 6-11 minutes. Number of sessions and cumulative time were 34 sessions/365 minutes for the A and 65 sessions/392 minutes for the B. The training has retained a high success rate (85% for the A, 79% for the B), allowing for regular blood sampling.
