__**B.F. Skinner**__
 * toc

B.F. Skinner was a behavioral psychologist who became famous for his work with rats using his "Skinner Box". He took the extreme liberty of transferring his experience and theories of rats directly to human beings. It should be kept in mind that rats and people are tremendously different creatures, yet Skinner had no problem with easily assuming what was true for rats, on a very simple scale, would be applicable to human beings in very different and complex situations. **


 * Skinner was one of the most interesting yet controversial psychologists of his time. My name is Sarah Denofrio and I am a second year accounting student. This project is best presented through Wiki because it allows a better depiction of who these psychologists were and what their work consisted of. As we will discover, with B.F. Skinners many theories he performed experiments that in today’s society, would be viewed as extremely unethical. As we discuss B.F. Skinner and his life’s work, we will drill down on who he really was, what kind of experiments and theories he had, and what made him so famous for being one of the most excellent unethical psychologists of his time.**
