Not more current. That's your misunderstanding. I brought up Skinner, as an example of psychologists who "make testable predictions"
Here is what you said:
Quote:Classical and operant conditioning make testable predictions. Too many here are focused on early theorists while ignoring Skinner and the like.
It contrasts "early theorists" with "Skinner and the like."
Thank you for clarifying that you intended to emphasize testability and not earliness. In 2021, Skinner appears to be an early theorist who attempted testability.
