John Locke is considered in psychological circles to be one of the founding father of behaviourism, in that his "tabula rasa" view of mankind eschewed any genetical influence. Tabula Rasa means "blank slate". Johon Benet Watson took the idea one step further, by explaining, " Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select--doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant- chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors"

I think you're mistaken John Locke with B.F.Skinner.

No I'm not, Locke came up with the philosophical concept of "tabula rasa" and skinner adapted it to psychological terms

 

This couldn't be more clear if you look at the time they were alive - John Locke (1632-1704); and BF Skinner (1904-1990)
