Description
"About Behaviorism" by B.F. Skinner is a book discussing the approach to understanding what drives all human and animal behaviors. It is based on the assumption that behavior is a reflex deriving from the stimuli of the environment and/or a consequence of past experiences. Skinner argues that what influences human behavior is the occurrence of private events such as thoughts and feelings. Skinner explores how behavior can be shaped by external conditions and emphasizes the importance of studying observable behavior. This book provides insight into the mechanisms behind behavior and encourages a deeper understanding of both human and animal responses to the world around them.
