"During a lengthy career that spanned more than half a century, Skinner excited his colleagues with the prospect of changing harmful behaviour through rewards rather than drugs or therapy. He sparked controversy in education and child-rearing by arguing that punishment is the worst way to make children behave." (TORONTO STAR) This article marks the 100th year after the birth of B.F. Skinner, a "pioneer of modern psychology."
