Alec- "I'm sorry to pull it to bits," No need to be sorry, you did not pull anything I said to bits, if you look again at my quote I was talking about the way it illustrated the 2 reinforcers in OC, my comments were on the learning causes, your comments seem to be to do with your subjective...

Skinner never would or never implied in any way that OC (operant conditioning) could be consistently & reliably applied outside lab conditions, neither did he ever mention anything significant about dogs or their training. What Skinner did write in his primary, probably most important, work &...

Clickers are old hat, very old hat, probably why some think they are new is because the idea is a selling point by the recent (15 years or so) development of COMMERCIAL dog trainers, more often selling themselves as 'reward' or 'positive' trainers & 'behaviourists'...IT'S ALL SALES TALK. As...
