Burrhus Frederic Skinner

not really admire any psychologist but I can say that one of the jobs that I liked most is that of Burrhus Frederic Skinner

 was a psychologist, social philosopher and author of usa. He conducted pioneering work on experimental psychology and advocated behaviorism, which sees behavior as a function of environmental histories of reinforcement.

Skinner was born in rural Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, United States. He was part of Hamilton College in New York with the intention of becoming a writer. After graduation, Skinner spent a year in Greenwich Village trying to become a writer of fiction, but soon became disillusioned with his literary skills.

 Skinner became interested in the behaviors and actions of the people, which led him to study psychology at Harvard University (which at that time was not an institution at the forefront of psychology), graduating and doctorate in 1931. Reached be part of this institution as a researcher in 1936, and later developed his teaching at the University of Minnesota and then at the University of Indiana, then returned to Harvard as a professor in 1948, which would put the rest of your life.

his most important theory was the theory of reinforcement, this theory took a turn to behaviorism practically starting another stage in this psychological outlet.

I like his work because in my opinion is one of the currents is closer to the scientific understanding of the human mind.(233)
