Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This primer is a concise yet detailed account of the theory and principles of operant conditioning, based largely on the works of B. F. Skinner and his first- and second generation intellectual descendants. Despite the ubiquity, influence, and impact of operant principals within the fields of motivation, emotion, language, thinking, learning, and ethics, its impact and insights have gone widely unattributed; and, many of its principles are largely misunderstood. A primary purpose of this primer is to dispel those misunderstandings.
