Green, L. & Marr, M. J. (2004). Special article: Psychology in the year 2000 by B. F. Skinner. Editors' introduction. Journal of Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 81, 205.

The following is a hitherto unpublished address by B. F. Skinner given on May 10, 1968 to the Department of Psychology in commemoration of the Centennial of Wayne State University. The topic was "Psychology in the Year 2000." Another invited address on the same topic was given to the department at that time by Gardner Murphy. We are indebted to Eliot Hearst at the University of Arizona who discovered the manuscript among some old reprints. He sent it to the former editor of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB), K. A. Lattal, for possible publication. We are also indebted to Alice Young, Associate Dean of the College of Sciences at Wayne State, who researched the speech to determine if it had been published locally and/or if we needed any official permission to reprint it. Apparently, there were no reasons not to go ahead and print it in JEAB in recognition of the B. F. Skinner Centennial this year. The speech is printed exactly as written (other than for standard journal copyediting requirements), but we have added just a few footnotes to clarify certain references for the modern reader.
