    I hear you - however the designers behind Facebook/Instagram/Meta have been very open and how principles of Behaviourism have been very effectively used, applied and refined to capture as much attention as possible. For example check out The Social Dilemma documentary on Netflix, or read something like this: www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/08/social-media-copies-gambling-methods-to-create-psychological-cravings OR journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0306422018800245 OR www.economist.com/1843/2016/10/20/the-scientists-who-make-apps-addictive

    Hi Adam - Glad you are enjoying the videos. I hope the following helps in relation to the question you asked about: For this question you need to describe how Skinner studied reinforcement, so you could describe the Skinner box and some of the ways the different types of reinforcement were studied. An answer might look like this: Skinner created a highly controlled setting to carefully study the effects of reinforcement and punishment on the behaviour of animals, particularly on rats. This became known as the Skinner box. In this setup rats were placed in a box that contained various things including a lever, a food dispenser and an electric grid. In one condition Skinner wanted to see how quickly the rats would learn to press a lever. To do this whenever they pressed the lever a good pellet would be released (positive reinforcement). In other conditions, an electric shock was turned on and the rats had to press the lever to take away the painful shock (negative reinforcement).

    Great explanation 👍. I have read Skinner's book "Behavior of Organisms", but nowhere in his book does he say anything about punishment, he only talks about positive and negative reinforcement. Did Skinner add positive and negative punishment in another book?

    I presume you are referring to the last practice question on the video and number 4? It's "fixed" because the parent rewards their child "every time". Reinforcement is given after a fixed number of times (in this case, 1). The number required to gain the reward stays the same each time (every time they go to the potty). Hope that makes sense :)
