Skinner - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	12617	1824	62	Burrhus Frederic Skinner (March 20, 1904 – August 18, 1990) was an American psychologist, behaviorist, author, inventor, and social philosopher.[2][3][4][5] He was a professor of psychology at Harvard University from 1958 until his retirement in 1974.[6] Skinner was a prolific author, having published 21 books and 180 articles.[11] He imagined the application of his ideas to the design of a human community in his utopian novel, Walden Two (1948),[12] while his analysis of human behavior culminated in his work, Verbal Behavior.[13] After graduation, Skinner unsuccessfully tried to write a great novel while he lived with his parents, a period that he later called the 'Dark Years.'[18] He became disillusioned with his literary skills despite encouragement from the renowned poet Robert Frost, concluding that he had little world experience and no strong personal perspective from which to write.
