Mr. V. "Shaker" Chandrasekhar is a software engineer living in India, who writes an occasional column in Sulekha Expressions called "About Behaviorism and Other Things." He discovered Skinner's analysis by reading the books, because he had no access to a teacher in India that he could learn from.

A recent column called "Is there something else at work?" encouraged people to consider the role that non-verbal behavior plays in complimenting explicitly verbal thoughts in complex problem-solving behavior such as debugging a computer program. Check out his columns by clicking here...
