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. Just like there was no evidence to prove that he was a bad man. He was not only helping more than just himself throughout the years he was helping the entire country with some of experiments. As said in the book he was helping the U.S. throughout the World War II that was going on during the time. We go more and more into detail on his experiments when they go out and ask each one individually on how and who he was. As they analyzed each one of the experiments on what had happened. They went across others and asked them, most of the answers that they received were that he was doing it at a good cause. That it wasn’t all totally something that they would consider would be evil in any shape or form because he was doing with the people who were the ones who volunteered. The author recollected her thoughts whenever she viewed other as they were asked

    As a small child, Skinner showed interest in building stuff. Skinner’s mother stayed home to care for Skinner and his younger brother and his father was a lawyer. Skinner developed a passion for composing while he was a student at Hamilton College and attempted to be a professional author in the wake of graduating in 1926, however with little success. After two years, Skinner enrolled at Harvard University to study psychology where he explored a more objective and measured way to study behaviour. Skinner created what he called an operant conditioning device to do this, better known the Skinner box.…

    Skinner wanted to understand variable and behavior in its context (the environment). He chooses the environment as a variable because it is where we, us organisms, operate (communicate, react and/ or respond) every day and because the environment also operates on our behavior. Thus, his idea further explains the idea of what happens after we behave/ engage in the behavior. Our experiences of what happens after we behave/ engage in the behavior can greatly affect the way we behave, such as a bad reaction can cause us to think twice about repeating the behavior, also known as a consequence (a reinforcement or punishment). Therefore, experimental analysis of behavior is an idea that Skinner created to study operate conditioning, also known as voluntary behavior.…

    Some critics believed that he was using his behavioral techniques as a form of mind control and that he saw humans as another one of his lab rats. One critic compared his technique to a form of dog obedience class (Slater 15). I believe that people were afraid of his ideas because they did not like the idea of anyone having that big of an impact on their behavior. What they didn’t know was that Skinner was not looking to control the populations mind, but only wanted to better the training technique and improve mankind’s behavior so that they could improve their learning skills and behaviors. We as humans need all the help we can get when it comes to behavior issues.…

    Skinner claimed that internal mental processes, such as thoughts and feelings, were complete irrelevant to behavioral outcomes, which is one of the greatest flaws of his concept of radical behaviorism. Humans are social animals, so they have very strong procedural memory and conscious attention, both of which include emotion. A human is more likely to remember how to do something well if doing it makes them happy; if they enjoy doing it. This does not meant that they are being conditioned to enjoy it, a child may enjoy playing piano even if they are not getting a reward after they practice. A child is less likely to perform an action more than once if it made them sad, even something that did not make them feel physical pain.…

    By large, the Richard Dawkins theory was too near to the living species nature and beliefs and the Skinner theory mostly contains the contradictions if we compare his theory with the real life facts and beliefs. For example Skinner is considering the environment and current belief as the influential factors for living species behavior which cannot be accepted at all because he is totally negating the concept of genes in-built characteristics that usually transfer from one generation to another. In my point of view as I discussed above that the genes have surely a major and main role in the development of living species behavior and it cannot be negated at all which I proved above by giving some…

    Assignment 8: Skinner, Freud and Rogers To compare Skinner, Freud, and Rogers, is to compare three of the greats in the field of Psychology. Behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and humanism comprise the garden from which all other theories have grown. While vast differences have historically been observed in these three men and their theoretical perspectives; for those who choose to see, a few startling similarities may be found as well. For someone with little psychological background, who is just beginning to delve into Freud’s theories, it might seem that his beliefs about human behavior are based in cognitive process like Carl Rogers’s humanistic beliefs.…

    Personality is a subject that is mixed with the environment that we are surrounded by and beliefs in which we are brought up with, that transforms us and makes the person we are. It all starts at birth, how we are raised and the changes in our lives that we experience that make us grow as people. Nobody looks at life the same way as we did in our childhood, teens, or even in college. Our personality all changes as we progress through life. Theories have been developed by psychologists to help the science behind who we are, but personality cannot be defined as one easy definition.…
