Abstract
Behavior analysis ironically appears to be increasingly at risk for abandoning its historic focus of moment-to-moment behaving, to other disciplines ranging from robotics and the "man-machine interface" to cognitive science where behaving is called "action." The misleadingly labeled "molar" analysis and the concept of "behavior extended in time" both signal this abandonment of behaving. I suggest that it would be premature to assume that moment-to-moment analyses and analyses of "behavior extended in time" are on different and independent levels. I also suggest that behavior analysts might regain their focus on actual behaving by occasionally reading Pigeons in a Pelican (Skinner, 1960) and Farewell, My LOVELY (Skinner, 1976) and by developing and evaluating behaving theories
