First, although I have not been influenced by Ayn Rand’s philosophy, like Locke, I am influenced by facts, facts derived from rigorous methodological discipline and empirical testing that allow generalizable solutions. 1977 was a watershed year for me. Albert Bandura sent me a preprint of his paper that would soon appear in the Psychological Review (1977a) as well as a book (1977b). His work shattered any remaining beliefs regarding the validity of behaviorism as a philosophy of science. Bandura and I have been citing one another’s work to the present day.
