By means of these dispositional explanations, we can explain behavior B of a system &lt;em&gt;x&lt;/em&gt; by (i) referring toa situation of type S that triggered B, given that &lt;em&gt;x&lt;/em&gt; has a disposition D to do B in S, or (ii) byreferring to a disposition D of &lt;em&gt;x&lt;/em&gt; to do B in S, given that &lt;em&gt;x&lt;/em&gt; is in a situation of type S.Dispositional explanations are adequate and indispensable explanations: they can explain behavior B without explicitly referring to the underlying causal basis in &lt;em&gt;x&lt;/em&gt; that constitutes adisposition to do B. Radical Behaviorist explanations are a sort of dispositionalexplanations, but the dispositional model is not restricted to these explanations. Thedispositional model is compatible with, or can be applied to, several research programs&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
