Skinner's philosophy

Skinner’s philosophy, known as behaviorism, emphasizes that behavior is shaped and reinforced by our environment and experiences. He believed that people learn new actions through rewards and consequences, rather than innate traits or thoughts. By understanding and controlling these external influences, it’s possible to influence and modify behavior effectively. Skinner’s ideas have been applied in education, therapy, and behavior management, highlighting the importance of observable actions and the environmental factors that influence them, rather than focusing solely on internal mental states.
