The study of conditioning has had some important moments:
Pavlov's Classical Conditioning (1890s): Pavlov did experiments with dogs. He showed how they could learn to respond automatically to certain things, like a bell ringing when they were about to get food.
Skinner's Operant Conditioning (1930s): Skinner focused on how rewards and punishments can change behavior. His work changed how we understand why people and animals act the way they do.
Watson's Behaviorism (1913): Watson believed that all behaviors are learned. He encouraged a new, more scientific way to look at psychology.
These key moments really helped shape behavioral psychology and our understanding of how we learn!
