Getting dates correct edit
Are people sure that Rotter is still alive? I am sure I read that he died some time ago (according to the web, he died in 1987, but I would like to check whether I can find any printed sources to verify that). Also, this article erroneously categorises Rotter, who was born in [[1916), as a birth from 1906!
- Thank you for expanding the article. I fixed the error, and please feel free to fix anything else or improve the article. As for the question, is he still alive? I cannot find any evidence otherwise. He is listed as emeritus faculty at the University of Connecticut. Also, I searched New York Times archives and Lexis-Nexis to make sure. Where 1987 comes up in my searches, I think that is when he retired. [1] In 1993, he wrote an autobiography piece, which is listed in the "further reading" section of the article. --Aude (talk) 16:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Citation sources inaccessible edit
At least the citations 2 and 3 need a University of Toronto account to access the source. Thus, they remain inverifyable for all other Wikipedia readers. --Ft93110 (talk) 12:20, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Missing Information edit
In the 'background' section at the end of the 1st paragraph, the last sentence says "Wood inspired him by his lectures on the scientific method.". However, there is no mention of 'Wood' in the article, so the sentence seems out of place.... Perhaps the original editor meant "Adler inspired him...", but the citation for this sentence couldn't be found. What change(s) can be made to improve this sentence?
