[edit] Help with correction

This article should be retitled: Thomas F. Gilbert -- i.e., just add a period mark after his middle initial. The absence of this mark, which I have not figured out how to correct here, means that the link between the discussion of Gilbert within the article on B.F.Skinner does not work. At least that's what I think may be nixing this link. I would appreciate it if you could fix this if you know how. Thank you. A fan of Gilbert and Skinner.

[edit] Gilbert not an engineer

Re "Thomas Gilbert (Engineer)" Although Gilbert talked about performance engineering, he was by training a behavioral psychologist. His Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee was in clinical psychologist (he never practiced as a clinician).

I know this because I studied with and worked for him for several years, and knew him much longer. Ikeybug (talk) 00:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

For published support of his training as a psychologist, see the book jacket of his Human Performance which states: "Thomnas F. Gilbert holds a Ph.D. degreen in psychology . . ." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikeybug (talk • contribs) 05:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
