    Punishment doesn’t means no learning, instead a person does learn something and as a result, it would decrease the likelihood of a behavior, and also is most effective if it is delivered immediately after the unwanted behavior. Skinner’s position was called radical behaviorism and the supporters of radical behaviorism argued that his theory was misunderstood and misrepresented; a concept that uses human cognitive ability can be found in creatures by using experimentation. Hopping pigeon showed that superstitious behaviors can be difficult to give, since it made the pigeon’s superstition made it think that it was under a fixed ratio, which it get pigeon more rewards if more it hoppes.…

    According to Schloss and Smith (1998) applied behavior analysis has its roots in behavioral theory, which states that most behaviors are learned responses to environmental stimuli. B.F. Skinner (1953) extended behavioral theory by investigating operant conditioning. After his work, Skinner presents three important principles of operant conditioning: reinforcement, extinction, and punishment. Another important author, who contributed with the behavioral theory was Albert Bandura, who in 1965 and 1977; he can explained that individuals learn new behaviors throughout observations of others’ performance.…

    We go ask others who actually had communication with him, and the author finds a quite peculiar way to figure him out. It was through all of his experiments viewing each one and figuring out what going on. As we go back to the point on how Skinner was a person that not only saw evil he was viewed as someone who did not care for others. He was a person who sat down and just ruined lots of things. There was evidence to prove otherwise.…

    In comparison to Watson and Pavlov, Skinner’s idea of behaviorism is different; hence, the term “radical.” Skinner’s idea of radical behaviorism addresses the voluntary behavior. When addressing voluntary behavior, there is a thorough analysis of behavior. The big question was “how do ‘organisms’ engage in voluntary responses?” Voluntary responses were anything from nonverbal to verbal communication.…

    The prominent psychologist Edward Titchener expressed the value that Hermann Ebbinghaus played in experimental psychology while giving his eulogy, saying, As I approach the topic of this lecture, what is uppermost in my mind is a sense of irreparable loss. When the cable brought the bad news, last February, that Ebbinghaus was dead… the feeling that took precedence even of personal sorrow was the wonder of what experimental psychology would do without him. (Hoffman & Bamberg, 2005) Fortunately, experimental psychology survived the death of Ebbinghaus, aided by the strong foundation, objectivity, and research that he laid down.…

    Skinner states in his solution for humanity that a society should be created that can use his reinforcement methods to control humanity and steer it in the right directions. Just as this society would fix the world’s problems, on a smaller scale its concept can be used to fix the problems on the island. Now. Skinner briefly discussed a few possibilities for his theoretical society. He already believes that science is the only just way to rule, and he proposes that “science could lead to the design of a government that will promote the wellbeing of the governed,” in his book (Stevenson, 204).…

    Skinner introduced Reinforcement Behaviour which is reinforced trends that are repeated .An example of how psychology reinforced behaviour can occur, ‘…if you were younger and you tried smoking at school, and the chief consequence was that you got in with the crowd you always wanted to hang out with, you would have been positively reinforced and would be most likely to repeat that behaviour, however if you were caught smoking by someone else such as like a teacher the main consequence was that you were caught, suspended from school and your parents then became involved and you would be punished at home, and you would consequently be much less likely to smoke again…’, because it was a negative reinforced behaviour that led to smoking. Burrhus Frederic Skinner believed that there are many problems with punishment such as punished behaviour is not forgotten and the can lead to increased aggression, fear of attending school (humiliation). Reinforcement tells you what you should do i.e. Social norms, whereas punishment only tells you what not to do (Hopkins Burke, R (2009). To some extent, the conditioning process is specific to the specific stimulus that is presented but it can also be generalized to the other similar stimuli, thus the teenager would smoke the cigarette to reward himself with popularity or friendship.…

    Also, Chomsky shows that Skinner provides no experimental evidence to support his model for verbal behavior and further, makes no attempt to understand verbal behavior before attempting to model it. According to Chomsky, Skinner’s model for verbal behavior is unscientific because it reaches beyond its scope and is unprovable. Chomsky’s assessment of Skinner’s model is sound; however, Chomsky himself overreaches when he rejects completely Skinner’s application of his model for operant behavior to that of verbal behavior. Chomsky is correct that Skinner’s model for operant behavior does not accurately describe the full scope of verbal behavior because the model is too simple to describe the complexities of verbal behavior; however, Skinner’s model can be used to describe the basis of verbal behavior and language acquisition. Skinner’s model for verbal behavior is extrapolated from his model for operant behavior.…

    F Skinner in his behavior or learning condition theory will explains that an individual’s personality development emerges as a result of their mutual attraction with the environment. According to Skinner, the development of the obsessive-compulsive disorder is brought about by the need for attention and recognition. By this approach, an individual develops and allows bad characters or behavior to serve as an underlining factor in guiding and developing their personality. For example, a child cries to attract attention that they are hungry or sleepy.…

    Application in Education Similarities and Differences Just as there are differences and similarities between Skinner and Pavlov’s theories, the same could be observed when applying their theories to education. As for the first similarity, both theories involve the process of pairing (Lee, 2005). Pavlov’s classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to create an unconditioned response. When this pairing is demonstrated multiple times the desired behavior becomes the conditioned response. Pavlov would exemplify this process in education.…
