Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Scientiﬁc evidence of animal learning from experience was documented initially in the works of behaviorism with scientists such as Thorndike (1911), Pavlov (1927), Skinner (1938, 1953), and Hull (1943).”
Learned regulation of spatially localized brain activation using real-time fMRI (2004, methodology): “This study used a method analogous to operant ( or instrumental ) conditioning ( Skinner , 1938 ) .”
Behaviour in commons dilemmas: Homo economicus and Homo psychologicus in an ecological-economic model (2000, background): “Repetition stands for automatic individual processing, and relates to classical and operant conditioning theory (Pavlov, 1927; Skinner, 1953).”
Beyond behaviorism: on the automaticity of higher mental processes. (2000, background): “The radical behaviorists such as Watson (1913) and Skinner (1938) ruled out cognitive, emotional, and motivational mediators of the stimulusresponse (S-R) relation because such constructs could not be measured (at that time) independently by an outside, disinterested party.”
EthoVision: A versatile video tracking system for automation of behavioral experiments (2001, methodology): “Animal behavior can also be measured using a computerized version of a Skinner box (Skinner, 1938), in which the subject has to tap a touch-sensitive monitor (Morrison & Brown, 1990; Sahgal & Steckler, 1994).”
The Improvement Rate Difference for Single-Case Research (2009, background): “Integral to applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the frequent measurement of client behavior over time, and its graphic display to guide decisions for managing interventions (Baer, Wolf & Risley, 1968; Sidman, 1960; Skinner, 1938).”
Statistical Analyses of Single-Case Designs (2014, unknown): “The single-case design (SCD) is one of the oldest and most respected design traditions for testing the effects of a treatment (Sidman, 1960; Skinner, 1938), especially in some areas of psychology and education (Shadish & Sullivan, 2011; Smith, 2011).”
Principles of Synthetic Intelligence: Psi: An Architecture of Motivated Cognition (2009, background): “Watson (1913) became very infl uential, and in the form of radical behaviorism (Skinner, 1938) not only neglected the nature of mental entities as on object of inquiry, but denied their existence altogether.”
Delay discounting: I'm a k, you're a k. (2011, background): “Thus, k clearly can be used in a way that should not concern Skinnerian psychologists. Skinner’s (1950) objection was to explanation that ‘‘appeals to events taking place somewhere else, at some other level of observation, described in different terms, and measured, if at all, in different dimension”
Sequences of audits, tax compliance, and taxpaying strategies (2009, unknown): “Rooted in the law of effect (Thorndike, 1898), operant conditioning theory (Skinner, 1938) suggests that the appearance of a particular (individual) behavior is shaped by reinforcement.”
Teaching Courses Online: A Review of the Research (2006, background): “As old behavioral principles show, students’ behavior was contingent upon the reward (Skinner, 1938).”
