William Samuel Verplanck Junior Explained

William Samuel Verplanck Junior (January 16, 1916 in Plainfield, New Jersey – September 30, 2002 in Knoxville, Tennessee) was an American psychologist.[1] [2] He conducted a series of significant experiments in the fields of ethology, experimental psychology, and especially in the field of radical behaviorism. After compiling a review of the writings and research of B.F. Skinner for the 1950 Dartmouth conference, culminating in the publication of Modern Learning Theory,[3] Verplanck adopted the psychological and philosophical stance of Interbehaviorism - a position which he maintained throughout the remainder of his career.[4] [5]
