Let me know what you think! - In the last episode, I introduced behaviorism, which took a strikingly different approach to human learning and development by basically assuming that everything we are on the inside is somehow learned from the environment, except for some of the most basic things we need for survival.  Our inner life and the reasons we give for our decisions are more or less illusions.  What we are is what we are conditioned by our environment to be.  I started with classical conditioning, Pavlov, dogs, and scaring babies.  Today I am going to move on to operant conditioning with Skinner, Thorndike and Seligman who liked to put animals into boxes and at times even shock them into complacency. Referenced resources can be found within the show transcripts at https://psydactic_caps.buzzsprout.com Feedback can be emailed to [email protected] OR submitted via a form at https://psydactic.com.This is not medical advice.
