Psychology Discussion Forum 6.2Topic: Instructions: 1 page with, Single Line Spacing, Must have “Quote” from text (Chapter 7)Answer the following questions as a discussion post:Does behaviorism effectively reduce the control of human behavior to nothing more than the product of rewards and punishment?Do you agree or disagree with Skinner that humans have no free will and are simply productsof their environment?What role does Skinner's behaviorism have in how we learn?1. The behavior of human teaches us to respond to reward and punishment. And human usually gives a toffee or chocolate to the kid for good behavior or scold them if they are doing anything wrong. Right from their starting days, humans have been trained. And once we learn to start our journey, humans are ready for punishments as well as rewards.There are two theories namely, classical conditioning and operant conditioning which fulfill the need of the question. The classical conditioning theory says that it is a modification in the behavior by which a subject comes to respond in an anticipated way before neutral stimulus that has constantly been presented along with an undefined stimulus that provokes the anticipated response.The operant conditioning theory is a way of learning that comes through punishment and rewardsfor behavior. By this punishment and rewards, the suggestion is complete between a behavior, and it is importance for that behavior.2. The free will is very tough issue because it shows collision among two different, however it is also legal perceptions. Within the psychology that there is no consensus as to whether we reallydo have free will – many of our field seems to assume that we do not. Skinner does not agree much on, but one thing they did agree that behavior of human was influenced by insider and the outsider. Freud says thatunconsciousfights as reasons of behavior, and Skinner says about environmental possibilities.3. We can see that Skinner work was the answer to the questions like, how human learns, he verywell specified us that genetic matters, pavlovian conditioning matters, and human & other things that included in the mechanism that allow feedback from the environment so that we can shape our behavior Skinner called this process operant conditioning. The operant is the performance that works on environment and by doing this; we can get environment feedback to shape our behavior by creating this. Example like when I was small, I stuck my finger in electric switch board that was our behavior and that was a crazy feeling it a kind ok environmental feedback. And I learn from this that I will never stick my finger again in electrical switch board.
