Lesson 4: Operant Conditioning
Introduction:

Operant ConditioningSection Overview
Operant psychology has significantly contributed too many fields of Psychology. Currently, operant techniques are used in clinical and hospital settings, business, education, and many other fields. This section introduces you to this area and its most predominant advocate, B. F. Skinner. Since there is a considerable amount of material to review, in addition to the lecture modules, I have included two modules that correspond to the book chapters. Use them to help you in your studying.
