J.B. Watson http://fates.cns.muskingum.edu/~psych/ps… As far as I can see Watson did not write fiction as did Skinner (Walden Two) and Pavlov connected an unnatural sound to the saliva gland response which is a completely non consciously controlled response for a dog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_B._Wat… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.F._Skinne… Apparently Skinner was a great inventor.
