Abstract
This article memorializes Ruben Ardila (1942-2025). He was deeply interested in theoretical questions related to the unity of psychology and offered an "experimental synthesis of behavior," trying to combine the Skinnerian analysis with some cognitive approaches and a view of the sociohistorical reality of the person. His books, Walden Three (1979) and Experimental Synthesis of Behavior (1988), present this personal construction. Another fruit of this concern was his collaboration with Mario Bunge in Philosophy of Psychology (1987) that offers a more general approach..
