You might think that rather than simply copying these sentences as they are, which you understand is plagiarism, you will change it a bit, but retain the essential sentence structure:

Kelley also split the grouping of without to distinguish stimulus (a constant feature without the person) from circumstance (something targeted at this example of the behaviour). For Kelley, we all (faultlessly) follow a causal analysis that is similar to an observationally orientated scientist …

The changes above look far-fetched in places, but are, alas, not uncommon. While the paragraph uses several of Kelley’s key terms and phrases (stimulus, circumstance and ‘location of the cause’), the substituted words, synonymous though they may be, reveal an unthinking process and a lack of understanding, rendering much of the text inaccurate and incomprehensible.
