A treat for Precision Teaching and Behavior Analysis history buffs

For those who enjoy Precision Teaching and Behavior Analysis history, the archival website
"Dr. Beatrice Barrett- Her Contribution to Behavior Analysis" may be of some  interest.

The site, hosted by the Department of Behavior Analysis, University of North Texas, has been online for at least a year, but on a recent visit it was noted that there has been a considerable expansion of archived documents of the work done by Drs. Barrett, Ogden Lindsley, and the other researchers at the Walter E. Fernald State School and the Metropolitan State Hospital.

For example, this page from the Article Archives, which contains status, technical, progress, and final report of the work done by B.F. Skinner, H.C. Solomon and O.R. Lindsley during the 1950's for the Office of Naval Research; a later article co-authored by Barrett and Lindsley, and those with Barrett as sole author.

There is also a photo gallery of snapshots left by Dr. Barrett- some of these include notable figures in PT and behavior analysis in their younger days (Ogden Lindsley and Carl Binder, for instance). There is a request for any background information that can be supplied on the photos either through the site's email address or contact form.

Description of the full contents of "Dr. Beatrice Barrett- Her Contribution to Behavior Analysis" is beyond the scope of this blogpost - instead the reader is strongly encouraged to visit and browse!
