The journey into the science of behavior continues! Building on the foundational principles of shaping, this video delves deeper into the work of B.F. Skinner and his pigeons, exploring the advanced concepts that make operant conditioning so powerful and persistent.

👨‍🏫🔬 Discover what happens after a behavior is learned. Witness B.F. Skinner demonstrate the crucial concept of "Schedules of Reinforcement." Learn why continuous reward isn't the most effective way to maintain a behavior and how intermittent reinforcement creates actions that are incredibly resistant to extinction.

🌱🐦 Through further, more nuanced experiments, we uncover one of Skinner's most fascinating findings: "superstitious behavior." See how pigeons, rewarded on a fixed time interval regardless of their actions, begin to develop unique, ritualistic behaviors, providing a powerful parallel to human superstition.

🕊️💬 The principles in this film are the secret engine behind many aspects of modern life, from the addictive design of slot machines and video games (variable-ratio reinforcement) to the persistence of our own habits and rituals. This is essential viewing for understanding the subtle forces that maintain behavior.

🎥 Press play to advance your understanding of behaviorism and witness the elegant science behind habit, persistence, and even superstition.
