B.F. Skinner: The Father of Operant Conditioning

Skinner is a behaviorist who believed that all behavior is learned through interaction with the environment. He developed the concept of operant conditioning, which suggests that behavior is modified by its consequences, such as rewards or punishments. According to Skinner, behavior that is followed by a reward will be strengthened, while behavior that is followed by a punishment will be weakened.

Skinner's work had a significant impact on education and psychology, and his ideas about operant conditioning are still widely used today in fields such as special education, organizational behavior, and animal training.
