| | Burrhus Frederic Skinner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Skinner was mainly responsible for the development of the philosophy of radical behaviorism and for the further development of applied behavior analysis, a branch of psychology which aims to develop a unified framework for animal and human behavior based on principles of learning. | | | Skinner's political writings emphasized his hopes that an effective and humane science of behavioral control - a behavioral technology - could solve human problems which were not solved by earlier approaches or were actively aggravated by advances in physical technology such as the atomic bomb. | | | Skinner opposed the use of coercion, punishment and fear and supported the use of positive reinforcement. |

| | Burrhus Frederic Skinner |
| | Skinner was a controversial figure in psychology for many decades, but in the eyes of his supporters, he did more to promote psychology as a science than any other thinker of his time. | | | Skinner's behaviorism viewed learning as a controllable process through which an organism's predictable responses to carefully designed stimuli could be shaped to produce the learning of any behavior-even a mental behavior like language. | | | Skinner's work is popularly associated with his invention of the "Skinner Box," which was used with pigeons, monkeys, and even humans and was a feature of thousands of learning experiments. |

| | Burrhus Frederic Skinner, March 20, 1904—August 18, 1990 By Howard Rachlin Biographical Memoirs |
| | Skinner's behaviorism represents a reaction from this basically romantic psychology with its focus on the "inner man," possessing an inner theater where "the life of the mind" could be played out independent of life itself. | | | Skinner's very first publications, beginning with his thesis on "the concept of the reflex" and some of his more recent publications, "Why I Am Not a Cognitive Psychologist" (1977) and "Whatever Happened to Psychology as the Science of Behavior?" (1987), reiterate Dewey's argument. | | | Skinner believed that behavior could and should be studied scientifically. |

| | Instead, Skinner recommends that psychologists concentrate on observables, that is, the environment and our behavior in it. | | | This is operant conditioning: “the behavior is followed by a consequence, and the nature of the consequence modifies the organisms tendency to repeat the behavior in the future.” | | | It is very straight-forward: Extinguish an undesirable behavior (by removing the reinforcer) and replace it with a desirable behavior by reinforcement. |

| | Burrhus Frederic Skinner History Summary |
| | During the mid-twentieth century, B. Skinner became the most widely known proponent of behaviorism in psychology, the theory that human behavior is primarily a matter of conditioned responses to stimuli. | | | Thus its actions went from respondent behavior to operant behavior, and this, in Skinner's view, was the model for learning both in rats and in human beings. | | | Skinner published Behavior of Organisms (1938), before his ideas on operationism had reached their mature form, as they would appear in Verbal Behavior (1957). |

| | As Skinner put it, "the research that I described in The Behavior of Organisms appeared in a new light. | | | Unlike the reflexes that Pavlov had studied, this kind of behavior operated on the environment and was controlled by its effects. | | | The "baby tender", as Skinner called his crib, was used only as a bed for the new baby. |

| | Skinner is particularly known for his work in the area of behaviorism. | | | Skinner's ideas will continue to be put to use well into the future, even if those who use them, do not understand the concepts or the educational philosophy behind them. | | | Applied behavior analysis entails modifying the environment and conditions that have led to a student exhibiting inappropriate behavior so as to illicit desired behavior. |
