Opening Skinner's Box by Lauren Slater
Investigates the 20th century through a series of accounts of its key psychological experiments. Beginning with behaviourist B F Skinner, this book describes his work with animals in the 1930s, in which he demonstrated the power of rewards and reinforcements to shape behaviour, and probes the truth behind the legend of the child raised in a box.
