Burrhus Frederic “B.F.” Skinner was one of the most influential American psychologists of the 20th century. Skinner is best known for his work in behaviorism, particularly operant conditioning — the idea that behavior is determined by its consequences, be they reinforcements or punishments, which make it more or less likely that the behavior will occur again. Skinner’s work forms the basis of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and his theories are used today. One of his well known quotes is, “When you run into something interesting– drop everything else and study it.”

Skinner’s quote reflects his belief that education should be based on curiosity and exploration rather than coercion and punishment. He argued that when we come across something interesting, we should take the time to explore and learn more about it, instead of focusing on what we already know. He was a firm believer in the power of experimentation and exploration and encouraged people to push the boundaries of their knowledge and understanding. Overall, Skinner’s quote has become a powerful mantra for psychologists and educators alike. His words reflect his belief in the importance of exploration and learning and his commitment to reinforcing positive behaviors. His quote serves as a reminder of the power of learning and exploration and the importance of taking risks and trying new things.

One of his most famous experiments involved the use of pigeons, where he demonstrated the principles of operant conditioning by shaping their behavior through reinforcement. Through his work with pigeons, Skinner was able to demonstrate how behavior could be modified through the use of rewards and punishments, providing valuable insights into the field of applied behavior analysis.
