Founders of Named Pedagogical Methods and Movements

Ogden R. Lindsley was an American psychologist who lived from August 11, 1922 to October 10, 2004, best known for developing precision teaching, including the Standard Celeration Chart. In 1948 he obtained an A.B. in Psychology from Brown University and two years later a Sc.M. in Experimental Psychology. At Harvard University he studied psychology under B. F. Skinner, earning his Ph.D. in 1957. In 1953 Lindsley started the Behavior Research Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, where he analyzed the behavior of persons with schizophrenia in what was the first human operant laboratory, and he invented the term behavior therapy.
