Title:
Chapter 1: Opening Skinner's Box
Summary:
This chapter is about B. F. Skinner, and his experiments. Skinners first experiment included rats in a box with levers. He studied their behavior, and how it changed by when they pushed a lever, they got food. He also tried altering the schedule of food reward, and discovered that when using a fixed-ratio schedule, the rat quickly learned how many times to press the lever before getting food.
Discussion:
I thought that this was interesting. I was in a management class, and we discussed different schedules for training individuals. I noticed that all of the ones we covered in that class were ones that Skinner tested on his rats.
