Abstract
In 1948, B. F. Skinner entered graduate school thinking that he would extend Pavlov’s work on conditioned reflexes. The series of experimental apparatuses that Skinner constructed and the experimental records made by his rats ultimately revealed a new source of control over behavior. This talk will follow the sequence of experiments that led to the discovery of the operant.
