Chris: I think you misread Debbie's comments. She said she was in theBaby box as an alternative to a crib which is what Skinner repeatedlysaid.
No, I don't think I did. The confusion I spoke of was not
Deborah's but rather that of those who claim she was "raised"
in a Skinner box (plus a subordinate confusion by many
"apologists" for Skinner who counter no child of Skinner's
was ever in any kind of "box").
I've never heard *this** claim from any 'follower' of Skinner
(and I number myself in this group).
We all knew about the air crib since he showed movies of it
publicly.
Rather the claim is that he never put his children in any form of
experimental apparatus such as an operant conditioning chamber
(Skinner Box -- a term he disliked).
