Today in the History of Psychology (20th March 1904), Burrhus Frederick Skinner was born. One of the most eminent figures in the history of psychology, B.F. Skinner's advocacy of radical behaviorism and the experimental analysis of behavior were profoundly influential. Within his groundbreaking body of work, 'Behavior of Organisms' (1938) and 'Verbal Behavior' (1957) are widely considered seminal contributions to human thought. In 1969, B.F. Skinner was presented with The National medal of Science by US President Lyndon Johnson and shortly before his death in 1990, he received the American Psychological Association's Award for Outstanding Lifetime Contribution to Psychology.

“We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement. Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement.”

Today in the History of Psychology (6th February 1951), B. F. Skinner self-published his classic book 'Science and Human Behavior.' Originally printed as a teaching resource for his Natural Sciences course at Harvard; this influential text includes one of Skinner's earliest accounts of the similarity between operant selection and Darwinian natural selection in phylogeny. The Macmillan Company published the first formal edition of Science and Human Behavior in 1953.

Today in the History of Psychology (2nd December 1920), Marian Breland Bailey was born. A renowned behaviorist, Bailey was one of B.F. Skinner's first graduate students at the University of Minnesota and one of the first applied animal psychologists to utilize operant conditioning. Among Bailey's best known academic contributions was the classic article 'The Misbehavior of Organisms,' first published in American Psychologist in 1961 which she wrote along with her husband Keller Breland. The article caused a storm among the behaviorist community when the authors stated that: 'After 14 years of continuous conditioning and observation of thousands of animals, it is our reluctant conclusion that the behavior of any species cannot be adequately understood, predicted, or controlled without knowledge of its instinctive patterns, evolutionary history, and ecological niche.'
