Operant conditioning by Burrhus Frederick
Skinner, showed that people learn to behave in certain ways because of
reinforcement. This a product of a psychology school of thought, behaviorism,
which comes in the notion that whatever a person behave is what matters instead
of his mind, pioneered by John B. Watson. If a person wants to retain the
behavior, then he will do positive reinforcements example, positive stroking.
If the behavior is undesired and needs to be exterminated, then a punishment will
be instilled.
