Operant Conditioning Video
I enjoyed watching this video because I felt that it helped me understand to a greater level what Skinner's experiment was actually like. I am a visual learner so watching videos and demonstrations is always helpful for me.
I also enjoyed watching Skinner explain what he was doing with the pigeons during the video.
Here is a picture that I found online of a pigeon that Skinner used in his operant conditioning experiment. As you can see on the right side of the box wall there is a colored tab that the pigeon would tap to recieve the reward.
I also liked how in the video it actually seemed like the pigeons were reading the words before the performed the task that was asked of them.
 
Here is a link to the website that I found the video on: http://www.simplypsychology.org/operant-conditioning.html
 
I hope that you enjoyed learning about B.F. Skinner and is Operant Conditioning experiments as much as I did (: Thank you!
