Site dedicated to psychologist and behavioural scientist B.F. Skinner. The Foundation exists "to educate the public about B.F. Skinner’s work, and to promote an understanding of the role of contingencies in human behavior". The site used to include a 67-minute audio file (using Real Player) of a presentation by Skinner, ‘On Having a Poem’, which discusses verbal behaviour from a behaviour analytic perspective and the criticisms of that position. At present (2009) this is no longer available though small video files are steadily being added.
