 Welcome! I'm a professor teaching Introduction to Psychology (and a few other classes) at St. Charles Community College. I'm interested in the biological basis for behavior, in particular the role of the κ-opioid system in regulating the mood-effects of chronic stress in animal models.

 * Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless.
 * Walden Two (1948), p. 95


 * The strengthening of behavior which results from reinforcement is appropriately called "conditioning". In operant conditioning we "strengthen" an operant in the sense of making a response more probable or, in actual fact, more frequent.
 * Science and Human Behavior (1953).


 * Let men be happy, informed, skillful, well behaved, and productive.
 * Freedom and the control of men (1955/1956). American Scholar, 25(1), 47-65.


 * Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
 * New Scientist (1964-05-21)


 * The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. The mystery which surrounds a thinking machine already surrounds a thinking man.
 * Contingencies of Reinforcement: A Theoretical Analysis (1969)


 * We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word "admire" then means "marvel at."
 * Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1972)


 * A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.
 * Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1972)
