B. F. Skinner was a radical scientist that developed the theory of operant conditioning. This states that behaviour is either reinforced or punished in both negative and positive ways to either increase or decrease the behavior prior to the consequence. His approach to behaviors was different than an internal mental process and believed that the mind was not a separate object from the soul or body but believed that our thoughts were just to be analyzed as private behaviors regarded as pubicly observed behaviors.
He invented the Skinner Box to insert an animal or person inside so they would be isolated from outside influences and other distractions.
He made this as a crib for his baby Debora and she managed to grow up as a healthy child. Soon he published a book called Walden Two in 1948 as a utopia where the families are perfect and then in 1971he wrote Beyond Freedom and Dignity proving that individual freedom is false, illusion.
