|March 12, 2019
Abstract:
When the B. F. Skinner Foundation reprinted Skinner's Verbal Behavior in 1992, Jack Michael wrote one of its two forewords, a detailed outline of the book's purpose and scope. On the 60th anniversary of the first publication (1957) of Verbal Behavior, Jack reflects on the book's impact and its importance to the understanding of language from a behavioral perspective.
