Abstract: | B. F. Skinner illustrated the power of behavior analysis by turning it on his own behavior. This article considers parallels in the life and work of Charles Darwin and places Skinner's views of life and death in the context of his selectionist paradigm for psychology. The term organism plays a special role, and the account shows why Skinner might have regarded it as an appropriate title. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
