At minute 3:50 an error crept in. Reinforcers increase the likelihood that behavior will be shown in the future.

One of minor correction in this video. Positive reinforcement is the addition of a stimuli that may reinforce behavior. Negative reinforcement is the removal of a stimuli that may reinforce behavior.

Stimulus is singular, stimuli is plural.

Thank you❤❤❤❤

While writing Reinforcers' nature, the word "neither" needs to be deleted as it is not uttered. Thanks.

Another problem with this guy's theory is that rewards and penalties those are not always tangible or observable or manifest. BF Skinner underestimates man's fear of consequence, which is the way Nietzsche talks about how the Barbarian is always afraid of some overwhelming Doom

[@KTarya808]

Absolute content.

[@Yusuf-bz9xh]

How the hell is this guy going to disregard internal mental events but on the other hand say that he's interested in the causality of action? This is flabbergastery.

That’s cool that my last name is the same as a Genius

[@Playmylevel]

Same

[@henkverhaeren3759]

This is not learning, it is programming.

[@PHILOnotes]

Thanks for sharing your point of view

[@nolickspittle4753]

It may appear that way but to me it appears as conditioning people, on the one hand the student and as much the educator too, to be more effective and productive in what they love doing.

[@joachimmikalsen1676]

The characterisation of "the environment" in this representation is skewed, as if we are talking about something unnatural og stylized. That is a gross misrepresentation of the simple ways in which behavior can be changed, as explained much more elegantly and precise by Burrhus Frederic Skinner. In this case I think something could be gained by some more reading on the topic.

How many lives have been downgraded by our educators treating us like lab rats. Do you want your children "trained" or educated?
