Requiem for my lovely.

چکیده
Thirty-five years ago, B.F. Skinner (1976) lamented a decreasing trend in the prevalence of cumulative records in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior ( JEAB). The editorial began with the two memorable lines, ‘‘Evidently we have not long to wait for an issue of JEAB without a single cumulative record! I shall not miss the records so much as the kinds of experiments that could scarcely be reported without them’’ (p. 218). The first issue without a record did indeed arrive a few years later, in March of 1979, and is now a common occurrence. So common, in fact, that although Skinner would not live to see it, 2002 marked the first (and only to date) entire year of JEAB without a single cumulative record. Figure 1 presents the cumulative number of articles appearing in JEAB containing at least one cumulative record from 1958–2010. As the figure shows, after almost two decades of a relatively high constant rate, a negative acceleration began around the time of Skinner’s prescient eulogy. Several possible explanations of this decline have been offered in a recent historical account of the technology (Lattal, 2004); nevertheless, JEAB continues to thrive beyond one of its initial objectives as an outlet for behavior analysts having difficulty getting their records published elsewhere (see Herrnstein, 1987; Skinner, 1987).
