Operant Conditioning
A way of teaching a behavior through rewards and

Operant Conditioning
• B. F. Skinner: Came up with operant conditioning– Believed we could teach
humans almost any behavior and make humans better through operant conditioning.
– BEHAVIORISM: It is better to study observable behaviors than what happens in the mind (cognition)
