F. Skinner, and Operant Conditioning • Another ubiquitous form of learning • Most voluntary behavior is controlled by the consequences that follow behavior • Learning Traditions Greatly Influenced the Development of Behavior Therapy • Behavior therapy tends to be time-limited and direct • Strong evidence supporting the efficacy of behavior therapies
