The Unfortunate legacy of the Skinner Box

 

In 1943, Skinner's pregnant wife asked him to build a safer baby crib for thier child. Always the inventor, Skinner created a heated crib that was enclosed with a plexiglass window and called it the Baby Tender. Skinner sent an article to Ladies' Home Journal, and they printed the story as "Baby in a Box." With the legacy of Skinner's work in operant conditioning, a rumor spread that Skinner had used his experimental operant conditioning chamber on his own daughter and that it eventually drove her crazy to the point of suicide. These rumors, however, were completely false.
