“…She reiterates that view in Points 5 and 6 of her current brief (Weidman, 1998). I disagree (Bruce, 1998) but will not repeat the grounds for my disagreement here. Instead I present a different explanation of Lashley’s disavowal of reflex theory.…”

“…Sidney Bijou worked under the tutelage of Kenneth Spence at the University of Iowa. He was exposed to many of the writings of Clark Hull via weekly meetings called the Monday Night Group (Bruce, 1998). These Monday Night Group meetings were devoted exclusively to a chapter-by-chapter review of Hull’s article that later became published as Principles of Behavior (Bijou, 2001).…”

The present article will detail the evolution of behaviorism and behavior therapy as it progressed from first-generation behavior therapy applications such as those espoused by Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner through the second generation of behavior therapies. The article is the second of a 3-part article detailing the first through the third generations of behavior therapy within the field of behaviorism. The present article primarily addresses the transition from the first generation of behavior therapy through the paradigm shift to second-generation approaches. The second generation of behavior therapies involved the incorporation of cognitive behavior therapy and the rise of the so called “cognitive revolution.” The importance of grasping the paradigm shift involved in these different generations of the field will assist students and scholars alike in viewing the shaping of the basic scientific tenets of behaviorism. The value is also seen when entertaining the newer ideas that were introduced to the field that brought the science of behaviorism to a wider audience while simultaneously advancing its scope. The rise of the second generation of behavior therapy introduced the concept of mediational variables to the field. The incorporation of a more mediational approach to behavioral processes replaced the earlier views of the environments’ influences on behavioral repertoires. Some of the biggest outgrowths of the second generation of behavioral therapies will be detailed and examined.

“…Rather, he found all theories, both his own and those that had been formulated by others, to be inadequate (see Bruce, 1998a). Beach (1961) wrote that "a major source of motivation which influenced Lashley throughout most of his professional life was the desire to formulate a comprehensive theory of learning" (p. 180).…”

I compare, contrast, and analyze two published constructions, a straightforward approach and a social constructivist perspective, of the life and work of psychobiologist Karl S. Lashley (1890-1958). Although it is clear at a general level that scientific endeavors are affected by extrascientific factors, particular concern is directed at the issues involved in demonstrating that the scientific work of an individual, in this case Lashley, is affected by specific extrascientific influences. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that Lashley's work was driven predominantly by racial and genetic determinist positions and that he was something other than the scientist he represented himself as being. I then discuss an unpublished personality theory approach to Lashley that suggests the influence of some personality characteristics on his work and helps to provide balance and perspective in constructing representations of Lashley.
