In this first episode of the first season of Great Minds on
Learning, Donald Clark discusses the Behaviorists, a group of
theorists who, starting with Pavlov in the early part of the 20th
Century, did much to put psychology and the psychology of learning
on an experimental, empirical basis.
He argues that the Behaviorists have been much misunderstood. In
particular, the myths surrounding B.F. Skinner, which have turned
him into something of a hate-figure, have helped to spread the
notion that behaviorist ideas were wrong-headed and have been
superseded by cognitive psychology. In fact, their ideas, though
still controversial, are probably more pervasive than
ever.
