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).”
Short-term plasticity as cause–effect hypothesis testing in distal reward learning (2014, neutral): “E-mail: a.soltoggio@lboro.ac.uk that lead to rewards, was observed in animal behavior and named operant conditioning (Thorndike, 1911; Skinner, 1953).”
Investigating the effects of gamification-enhanced flipped learning on undergraduate students’ behavioral and cognitive engagement (2018, methodology): “Consequences determine the probability of behavior being repeated (Skinner, 1953).”
Self-control and alcohol restraint: an initial application of the self-control strength model (2002, background): “Situations such as drinking restraint that involve conflict between goals typically require the use of self-control (Barkley, 1997; Mischel, 1996; Shallice & Burgess, 1993; Skinner, 1953).”
Behavioral Economics and the Analysis of Consumption and Choice (2016, unknown): “The relatively new field of behavioral economics represents a concrete attempt to apply the science of behavior to understand the data of economics, as proposed by Skinner (1953).”
NationTelescope: Monitoring and visualizing large-scale collective behavior in LBSNs (2015, background): “In the long history of human development, human behavior has been widely studied across various disciplines, such as psychology, biology, sociology and economics[1].”
Reducing Child Problem Behaviors and Improving Teacher-Child Interactions and Relationships: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Best in Class. (2018, unknown): “Based on three theoretical frameworks, BEST in CLASS integrates behavioral (Skinner, 1953), transactional (Sameroff, 1983, 1995), and ecological (Bronfenbrenner, 1979, 2005) theories.”
Theoretical explanations for maintenance of behaviour change: a systematic review of behaviour theories (2016, background): “…theories of goal-directed behaviour – de Wit & Dickinson, 2009; Pavlovian instrumental transfer – Hall, Parkinson, Connor, Dickinson, & Everitt, 2001; classical conditioning – Pavlov, 1927 and operant conditioning – Skinner, 1953; two-factor avoidance theory – Stasiewicz & Maisto, 1993).”
On the consequences of ignoring genetic influences in criminological research (2014, unknown): “Even the strictest adherence to behaviorism (Skinner, 1953) allowed for the idea of an organism’s brain as having at least some mechanistic role in learning—if for no other reason than operant conditioning schedules had to affect something in the body (Pinker, 2002).”
Feminist Perspectives on Erikson 's Theory: Their Relevance for Contemporary Identity Development Research (2001, background): “Behaviorism, on the other hand, sees no need to presuppose either a self or ultimate causes, focusing instead on proximate causes (close-at-hand environmental events) as antecedents of all behaviors (Skinner, 1953, 1974).”
