Key Theorists/Theories in Psychology - B.F. SKINNER Skinner was the leading exponent of the school of psychology known as behaviorism, which explains the behavior of humans and other animals in terms of the physiological responses of the organism to external stimuli. Skinner maintained that learning occurred as a result of the organism responding to, or operating on, its environment, and coined the term operant conditioning to describe this phenomenon. B.F. Skinner was an American psychologist, born in Susquehanna, Pa. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1931, and remained there as an instructor until 1936, when he moved to the Univ. of Minnesota (1937—45) and to Indiana Univ., where he was chairman of the psychology department (1945—48). www.psy.pdx.edu /PsiCafe/KeyTheorists/Skinner.htm   (487 words)

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Science (One Man and a Baby Box) Nonetheless, many people jumped to the conclusion that Skinner was raising his daughter in a cramped box equipped with bells and food trays and was conducting psychological experiments of the "rewards and punishments" variety on her. This "baby tender," as Skinner called it, provided Deborah with a place to sleep and remain comfortably warm throughout the severe Minnesota winters without having to be wrapped in numerous layers of clothing and blankets (and developing the attendant rashes). In fact, Deborah Skinner (now Deborah Skinner Buzan) grew up about as normally as can be, remained close to her father, and has been living and working in London as an artist since the mid-1970s. www.snopes.com /science/skinner.asp   (1253 words)

TIP: Theories Skinner (1957) tried to account for verbal learning and language within the operant conditioning paradigm, although this effort was strongly rejected by linguists and psycholinguists.

Skinner is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in overt behavior. tip.psychology.org /skinner.html   (514 words)
