B.F Skinner An absolutely marvelous presentation by Jalohn Lee, Luke Walsh, Josh Efrem, Evan Colwell B.F Skinner’s Area Of Research •B.F Skinner’s area of research was Behavioral Therapy, in which he came up with the theory of Operant Conditioning. Research Findings ● He understood the importance of consequences for negative actions and positive reinforcement for positive ones. He thought that breaking tasks into smaller parts and rewarding children for finishing them would create behavior change. This is Called Operant Conditioning. B.F. Skinner’s Process of Research • He based his ideas off of John D. Watson, but not as extreme as Watson. He used what most people called the Skinner Box. He put a rat in a box that had an electric current running through and a lever to teach the rats to turn off the electric current. Similar Studies Of B.F. Skinner’s ● Ivan Pavlov did conditioning experiments with dogs. He made it so that at the sound of a bell, the dogs would salivate because they knew it was feeding time. Age of Children researched. ● Through our research, we found that Skinner actually did most of his experiments on animals such as rats and pigeons. He did however, test some theories on his daughter who was around 3-4 at the time. Accuracy ● In our opinions, B.F. Skinner’s research isn’t all that accurate because he didn’t research children indepthly, but instead only researched on rats and other animals. If the Study was done today ● If B.F. Skinner were to do his research in this day and age, his outcome might be more accurate with his ability to study children with new technology and the one way glass rooms. Works Cited G, Elizabeth.
