Presentation transcript:

 He was born March 20 th 1904  He died August 18 th 1990  Originally wanted to ne a novelist  B.A. in English from Hamilton  Went to Harvard for Psychology Graduate Program Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten

 He is a Psychologist  Studied behaviorism  Behavioral Phycology is the study of external behavior  He theorized that you could change the way people think  He believed that you could influence peoples behavior We shouldn’t teach great books We should teach a love of reading

 He believed that behavior is sustained by reinforcements or rewards, not by free will.  Developed “Operant Conditioning”  Definition: type of learning in which an individual's behavior is modified by its antecedents (positive reinforcements) and consequences (negative reinforcements).

 He created the “Skinner Box”  Placed an animal inside to monitor the animals behavior  Inside the box there was a lever  Would present a treat  We’re positive treats

 Skinner often made the analogy of his project to a casino  He found that: 1.) Primary Conditioners → have a breaking point 2.) Secondary Conditioners → don’t have a breaking point

 If our behavior can be monitored and changed the way Skinner was able to get responses from the animals he tested, do we really have full self control?

 Does Skinner “de-humanize” or “mechanize” humans?

 Skinner is known for a quote: “Give me a child and I’ll shape them into anything”. Is this power or knowledge a dangerous tool for people to posses?
