We should teach a love of reading

Page 4: 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

He believed that behavior is

sustained by reinforcements or

rewards, not by free will.

which an individual's behavior is

(positive reinforcements) and

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

Findings

Page 10: 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

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?

Question #1

Page 11: 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

Does Skinner “de-

humanize” or “mechanize”

humans?

Question #2

Page 12: 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

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?
