Skinner.Between 1928 and 1931, Skinner and Keller were part of a group of young Turks in Harvard’sPsychology Department who, as PhD students, dared to challenge the dominant introspectiveapproach in American psychology. Influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis, but keeping an arms-length from it, American academic psychologists embraced an introspective approach that stoodat one end of the spectrum of the mind-body dualism defined by Descartes.

Toward the end of the semester, we also offered studentsopportunities to re-write previous paragraphs for a higher grade.
