Pioneers of Behavior Analysis

Saturday, May 29, 2004

1:00 PM–1:50 PM

Independence East

Area: TPC

Chair: Janet L. Pietrowski (Eastern Michigan University)

Knight Dunlap: An Unrecognized Pioneer in Early Behaviorism.

Domain: Applied Research

JANET L. PIETROWSKI (Eastern Michigan University)

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to describe the career and philosophy of Knight Dunlap, a little-known early behaviorist. This paper will examine parallels between the behavioral perspective of Dunlap and his more famous John's Hopkins colleague, John B. Watson. It appears that some aspects of classical behaviorism attributed to Watson might have been borrowed from or inspired by Dunlap. Has Dunlap been given too little recognition as a pioneer in behaviorism relative to Watson?

John B. Watson: Founder of Behaviorism or Inspired Popularizer of Others' Ideas?

Domain: Applied Research

JAMES T. TODD (Eastern Michigan University)

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show the extent to which John B. Watson should be credited as the founder of behaviorism. Other early psychologists such as Knight Dunlap contributed ideas and inspiration, but Watson alone authored behaviorism as a comprehensive program and philosophy. The extent of the contributions of Watson's colleagues and contemporaries will be assessed.
