Choose the best in Psychology is like to choose the best man in all time sports, very difficult because psychology, like sports, have many different areas. Nevertheless, if I have to choose someone I will choose B. F. Skinner.
Burrhus Frederic Skinner (March 20, 1904 – August 18, 1990) was an American psychologist, author, inventor, advocate for social reform, and poet. In few words I chose him because his contributions to the Experimental Psychology development and by his efforts to make psychology a science. By the way, he founded his own school of experimental research psychology—the experimental analysis of behaviour. He discovers the power of reinforcement on behaviour and develop the operant conditioning. Also he was a prolific author who published 21 books and 180 articles.

Bye!!
