B.F. Skinner was an influential American psychologist known for his research in behaviorism and for developing the theory of operant conditioning, focusing on the consequences of actions to modify behavior.

Operants

Behaviors that are controlled or modified by their consequences, such as rewards or punishments, in the context of operant conditioning.

Reinforcers

Stimuli that, when presented after a behavior, increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.

Instrumental Conditioning

A form of learning in which the participant receives a reinforcer only after performing the desired response, and thereby learns a relationship between the response and the reinforcer.
