skinner developed behavior analysis, the philosophy of that science he called radical behaviorism, and founded a school of experimental research psychology—the experimental analysis of behavior. he imagined the application of his ideas to the design of a human community in his utopian novel, "walden two", and his analysis of human behavior culminated in his work, "verbal behavior".









































skinner was a prolific author who published 21 books and 180 articles. contemporary academia considers skinner a pioneer of modern behaviorism, along with john b. watson and ivan pavlov. a june 2002 survey listed skinner as the most influential psychologist of the 20th century.

knight dunlap met john watson during his time at ucla and they continued to work together at johns hopkins university. they quickly became associates in the field of behavioral psychology and worked on many projects and experiments together. in fact, most of dunlap’s views were “tweaked” by watson in order to seem more rational to other psychologists. watson investigated dunlap’s "the case of introspection" (1912). john watson initially had a strong view on imagery, which dunlap had skepticism about, leading watson to drop his own views of imagery, and focus more of his studies on behaviorism. however, their views on behaviorism differed slightly. john watson was a heavy promoter for radical behaviorism, but dunlap criticized this theory and proposed his own “response psychology”. in their memoirs and journals both dunlap and watson wrote about how their works had a reciprocal impact on each other. each of the psychologists shaped the views on modern behaviorism, and were very interested in changing the ideas of introspection and instinct proposed by freud. unfortunately, though, watson’s name is more renowned and he has overshadowed the work of his colleague, dunlap. the name knight dunlap is not as well known in the field of behaviorism, and he partially blames himself as seen in his journals. dunlap states that his “lack of boldness” made him “unnoteworthy” compared to his colleague.
