Skinner spent his life studying the way we behave and act. But how did he become such a central figure of these Intro to Psych courses? And, how did he develop his theories and methodologies cited by those sleep-deprived Ph.D.
Skinner is one of the most well-known psychologists of our time that was famous for his experiments on operant conditioning. Doctoral candidates cite his work in their dissertations as they test whether a rat’s behavior can be used to predict behavior in humans. First-year psychology students scribble endless lecture notes on him. There are few names in psychology more well-known than B. Today, we will take a quick look at his work as we as a few odd experiments that went with it… It’s a very real thing that was forged by a brilliant, yet quirky, psychologist.
Operant conditioning might sound like something out of a dystopian novel.
