About his childhood, Skinner remembers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Skinner's autobiography, he mentions his "dark year" during which he became isolated and depressed, much to his father's disappointment. This suggests that his childhood was not all positive experiences, and that there may have been some significant struggles. There is no mention of Boy Scouts or desert adventures, and while he did have a particularly close relationship with his grandmother, there is no mention of "strong affection and support" from any specific grandparent.
