Robert Bolles

Robert Bolles is a psychologist known for his research in animal and human learning, particularly the concept of "discriminative stimuli," which are cues that signal when a specific behavior will lead to a reward. His work has helped deepen understanding of how organisms learn to associate certain signals with outcomes, influencing fields like behavioral psychology and conditioning. Bolles’ research emphasizes the importance of environmental cues in guiding behavior, contributing to theories on how learning occurs through interactions with specific stimuli in various contexts.
