Abstract The year 1913 marks the birth of the most radical of all psychological concepts‚ that of "Behaviorism" (Moore‚ 1921). Since the original behavioral theories were studied by scientists such as Edward Thorndike and John B. Watson‚ there have been many variations of the behaviorist view that have surfaced over the years. In this paper I will attempt to give a detailed description of the history of behaviorism including information about some of the most influential men associated with this

Pavlov‚ B. F. Skinner‚ Edward‚ Thorndike‚ John B. Watson and Clark Hull are major thinkers of this school of thought. B.F. Skinner‚ a pioneer in behaviorism‚ invented a mechanical device for automatically recording fine differences in the rate of response. He was one of the pioneers of automation in behavioral research: responses could be detected‚ recorded and followed up with reinforcements‚ all by automatic apparatus. Operant conditioning is a concept also developed by B.F. Skinner‚ who said “Psychology
