And it was reinforced in the 1950s by Harvard psychologist B.F. Skinner, who said that all human behavior was simply a set of conditioned responses...
Which is how Mohamed became among the first of some 1,100 Somalis who moved into this declining former mill town of 36,000 in just the past 1 1/2 years.
