B.F. Skinner's Human Behavior (overview).

[KuriousKatKommittee]

Bauhaus Fan Best Friend Skinner who singlehandedly made psychology great forever by raising it above the soft science mud waters it cozily occupies *dabs* is my number one psychology homie my main man, no cap. Hereafter (like them educated niggas say) I quote from the book "Science & Human Behavior." (OC OG B.F. Skinner, do not steal.)

_____________

"operant reinforcement improves the efficiency of behavior and maintains behavior in strength long after acquisition"

Science & Human Behavior, chapter Operant Behavior, p. 73

• "We are successful only when we resemble the organism under study and when we have correctly surveyed our own behavior."

Science & Human Behavior, analysis of behavior, p. 110

• "Discriminative stimulus does not elicit a response; it alters the probability of occurrence."

Science & Human Behavior, p. 166

• "emotion" (a particular state of strength or weakness in one or more responses induced by any one of a class of operations)

• "phobias" (extreme cases)

Science & Human Behavior, p. 185

- reinforcer

• positive (presenting stimulus)
• negative/aversive (withdrawing stimulus)

Science & Human Behavior, people in groups, p. 312

• "reinforcing consequences generated by the group easily exceed the sums of the consequences which could be achieved by the members acting separately"
