Skinner, B. F. – American Psychologist, 1975
An analysis of some of the diversions (preoccupations with topics such as feelings, internal thought processes, inner life, the individual as a creative agent) which have delayed better understanding of human behavior and the formation of a science based on the relationship of the behavior of the organism to the environment.

Educational change…
