My understanding is that behavioural science is a term used to group psychology, sociology and other subjects that study human behaviour - the use of the two words would generally indicate the tradition of behaviourism and narrowly defined scientific approaches although the term Applied Behavioural Science is used for very different approaches - I did the Diploma in Behavioural Science at what was then North London Poly which included bioenergetics, gestalt and other 'humanistic' approaches, and there is still a Journal of Applied Behavioral Science (http://jab.sagepub.com/content/early/recent) which continues that tradition (but probably in more modern forms). So the background of the term is contradictory. A search in the journal of applied behavioral science found not matches for learner-centered - so the term itself is still proving illusive!
