BF Skinner on Reinforcement
^I've always thought of Skinner as someone who discovered a great tool. His work really opened the understanding on how to manipulate and change behavior, the evidence of its effectiveness is rip in psychological research, and real world application (be it used for evil or good).
But I've never bought into the radical or Skinnerian concept that, that is all there is. Having known a few radical behaviorists in my time my observation has been their adherence has always been at something of a religious level. While they are strongly based in the experimental process, when an experiment fails to prove the hypothesis the excuse is almost always, 'oh we just weren't using the right reinforcement.' or if an experiment of an opposing view seems to suggest behavioralism isn't all there is, the criticism is again, 'they weren't using the right stimulus or reinforcement'. Essentially they don't accept there is anyway to actually disprove their theories. One of the most important parts of a good theory is a mechanism by which to disprove it aka a null hypothesis.
There's a video interview with Viktor Frankl (which I should probably post)where he likens Skinner's approach as looking at a 2D square to try and understand a 3D cube, and purposely limiting himself to only looking at that square.
