Example 1 (Short quotation)
It is argued that “the internal needs and drives of individuals can be ignored because people learn to exhibit certain behaviors based on what happens to them as a result of their behavior.” This school of thought has been termed the behaviorist, or radical behaviorist, school (Skinner, 1953)
Example 2 (long quotation)
He thought that the majority of response by humans do not result from obvious stimuli. The notion of reinforcement had been introduced by Thorndike, and Skinner developed this idea much further.
Skinner's system is based on operant conditioning. The organism, while going about it's everyday activities, is in the process of “operating” on the environment. In the course of its activities, the organism encounters a special kind of stimulus, called a reinforcing stimulus, or simply a reinforcer. This special stimulus has the effect of increasing the the behavior occurring just before the reinforcer.
