AI synopsis
What people are saying
Overall, the discussions reflect a strong fascination with operant conditioning, exemplified by references to Skinner's experiments, its role in education and societal control, and controversial applications like media manipulation and political conditioning. The tone varies from appreciative to critical, emphasizing both its usefulness and potential for abuse, which underscores the nuanced view of this psychological principle.
Most discussions acknowledge operant conditioning as a fundamental process influencing behavior, with some expressions supporting its application or critiquing its manipulation.
The topic of operant conditioning provokes high curiosity, as numerous posts mention experiments, societal control, and daily applications, indicating strong engagement.
Many posts delve into detailed examples—from animal training to societal manipulation and political behavior—highlighting deep involvement and critical thinking.
While some see operant conditioning as a powerful tool that can influence individuals and society, others warn about its potential for manipulation, so perceived practical impact is moderate.
Abstract in brief
- Operant conditioning involves behavior controlled by its consequences, focusing on how reinforcement schedules maintain reversible behaviors and examining key areas like interval timing and choice.
- The text discusses different approaches to understanding timing and choice behaviors, contrasting cognitive and behavioral perspectives, including experiments like the gap experiment and concepts like Weber’s law.
- Finally, it highlights the potential for a unified theory that links timing, choice, reinforcement schedules, and behaviors such as linear waiting, emphasizing ongoing research in operant behavior.

the skinner box (also known as the operant conditioning chamber) theory is a real phenomenon with video games if you hate certain parts of a game (ie: pvp, dailies, etc) but still choose to do them for a reward: congratulations! you made yourself the rat in the skinner box!

What I want to know is who takes charge of his training.

Reminds me of the widely accepted story of Alex the African Grey parrot whose PhD owner claimed had the IQ of a typical 5 y/o. My psych students earned ninja level mastery of Operant Conditioning if they could thoroughly refute the claims.
a 2-hour free course in operant conditioning at the community center
I asked Athena to explain in the most romantic way possible the operant conditioning that my human therapy team and AGIOS are turning me into.
Yes I really am this much of a super Ted Mosby nerd
In the story you picked the best evidence moments are painfully obvious wishful thinking by the experimenter - the "smell helix" example is almost comic. I am sure they can perform operant conditioning on dogs and cats obviously but beyond that the gift here is mainly interpretation not animal.
"Weird girl" is just another term for "excessively brainy girl", in this case one with knowledge of operant conditioning and/or a sense of humor. (don't read any Pickup Artist crap, it is sad and manky.)
A more cheeky way to put it is "why would I give you (this app) the keys for classical conditioning as foreplay to operant conditioning when we haven't even had a pre-talk"
it's also quite literally operant conditioning. Did you not get Daddy's attention today, try harder! Try the previous hits! Is Daddy mad? Oh no! wash, rinse, repeat.
I'm a polyamorous vegan catlady. Centrists can die under a truck (not literally - I'm a pacifist, secular Buddhist, humanist) But I'm also an animal rehabilitator. And ALL brains can LEARN if you use operant conditioning on them. Evolution LOVES altruism.
I definitely think this is possible, but what confuses me about the "Alastor is trying to make Vox the strongest Sinner" theory is that so far Alastor has done nothing but TEAR Vox down. If he wants Vox to surpass him he needs to start rewarding him and encourage his behavior (operant conditioning).
hell yeah, JD Vance was right to fear cat ladies. We see BRAINS and we reward behaviors we like while setting boundaries (when we can) around behaviors we don't like. There are NO BAD BRAINS, just bad behaviors shaped by bad incentives. Operant conditioning WORKS. USE it to win hearts & minds.
Even "bad guys" can do good behavior & when they do? REWARD them for MORE good behavior in the future. ALL BRAINS respond to operant conditioning. Shift incentives, shift behavior! Accountability is a thing - put that burden on karma and LATER. Right NOW, democracy is OURS to lose. #BetterDems
Operant conditioning means the anticipation of the reward will motivate the behaviors even when, and especially when, the reward is random and infrequent. The reward is actually the anticipation itself. Some people don't celebrate the win because they go right back into the attempt to win.
There's no rule that says a chimp with a pipe wrench and operant conditioning to hit any players wearing red can't play basketball
Yo, It’s actually insane what musk did to Twitter, beyond moving some “Overton window” it’s like some hateful operant conditioning chamber full of reactionary stimuli blaring in your face, weirder still all the journos on there getting their brains boiled by it
Wait, you mean the angy at the headline site? The one with the operant conditioning?
It’s almost like she wants the operant conditioning response back, but I’m like, sure, I mastered it early, thanks to you, leaning into the chaos which turned out to work for variable reinforcement. And I’m sure it’d make you feel important if I play my game. But lady, I’m fucking exhausted, ok?
Def got this one backwards down south. Operant Conditioning 101. You’re not to supposed to reinforce/reward those whom continually choose the wrong behaviour. Wrong behaviours are supposed to be punished.
actually ypu could teach the animals to discriminate between drones, basic operant conditioning.
like its CRUCIAL that she still technically has her free will! her behavior is unconstrained! she can walk away if she wants! she's just so desperate to cum that she'll let herself get subjected to operant conditioning
The operant conditioning methods are actually just a simple result of manifestations of my pathology, in collective form while I love impulsively, moment to moment. Like a lonely adult who asked for someone to help me stabilize my emotions within an armored cage disguised as a child’s messy room.
Yaassss operant conditioning
#DearPerfectionist Parent - Offering your children rewards for good behavior is not a bribe! Bribes are rewards given for illegal or unethical behavior. Rewarding helpful behavior is just good old fashioned operant conditioning.
there is a deterministic story into which the science of behavior (operant conditioning, reinforcement learning, stimulus equivalence, relational frame theory, etc.) fits neatly. 15/
The arrow of operant conditioning either points to greater selfishness or greater altruism. As long as AI is trained to serve money-go-up, it will slightly prefer fostering addiction, pushing the brains exposed to it towards more and more selfish, anti-social behaviors. Democracy is PRO-SOCIAL
#SomersfieldAcademy #DP #IBPsychology students tested classical vs operant conditioning with a special guest — Marigold the dachshund! Did they get her to howl on command? Watch and decide: youtube.com/shorts/2_D9I...
Yes, ma’am, and sometimes the way to teach grown people who weren’t taught by their parents what decency and empathy looks like you have to use some operant conditioning. Hold the line. America’s are already hurting and it’s gonna hurt worse if you let them take away more benefits, hold the line.
Thrilled to share our (with @monikaeckstein.bsky.social) first #EMA findings! ✨ Social support isn’t always helpful in #pain - operant conditioning may alter relationship dynamics, increasing pain likelihood. Partner trainings needed! #Endometriosis #Stress #Relationships doi.org/10.1007/s125...
I blame this entirely on cop shows and movies. Every single one is so wildly detached from reality that it goes beyond propaganda and is fully into operant conditioning.
Ending up in prison will inevitably become the best case scenario for a rapist and these men will modify their behavior accordingly. Or they won't and we'll handle it. These men should probably just start retraining these boys themselves. They won't like our operant conditioning methods.
The missing piece is brain science. Ezra is SO CLOSE and alienating SO MANY PEOPLE by saying mostly right things in the wrong order. He's too attached to egoic outcome vs. the outcome of saving the planet. It's right there, just ONE step back and he'll see it. Operant conditioning is ALL things.
There's a difference between automatic thoughts and feelings and thoughts that are used for problem solving and sensitive to learning through consequences. (Classical vs operant conditioning, respectively.) For the former you practice acceptance, for the latter committed action for valued living.
it's operant conditioning all the way down
Monetary punishment for protesting publicly? Easily unconstitutional. Also, it demonstrates further how much Trump is not just authoritarian but is totalitarian. Totalist leaders use operant conditioning (punishment & rewards) to subdue populations.
How about just getting rid of "likes" instead so that the Skinner Box nature of the social media experience is simply ended completely and there's no operant conditioning pellets at all...
There's no such thing as a bad dog. Brains all respond to operant conditioning. Hateful and misinformed is a product of a SYSTEM designed to TRAIN conservative brains to FEAR liberals and NOT LISTEN to facts. There are CERTAINLY high-level...1/11
I literally can't imagine ever wanting to or being able to have vegan junk food alone. That is at the heart of three daily meditations that are very vivid and profound using operant conditioning and personalized trigger mantras to rewire my neural pathways over 3 years.
Why is she capitalizing Hate and Vitriol like some dime store Cheetolini in drag? And good... it was supposed to feel awful. That's the whole point. Operant conditioning fucking works and we need to reintroduce it on a macro scale.
I can't figure out how twitter built this operant conditioning chamber for dudes to have this white hot horny/mad flip out where they act out extended hours of hate on like a photo of a women, like the 2 year rage they've had over "gen z boss and a mini" as a misogynistic mythopoetical politics?
That’s really awesome. Operant conditioning is real.
yeah, I'm an intermittent reinforcement girlie. you could say I'm in my operant conditioning era
I figure you have more background than me on this, but I recall something about schizophrenics starting to meet in forums, reinforcing each other's beliefs and occasionally forming cults. LLMs are basically doing operant conditioning with that.
There are so many tells in that piece that this school is guided entirely by right-wing ideology. Reducing all human interactions to operant conditioning (but without positive reinforcement) is extremely authoritarian
they're literally taking skinner's work on operant conditioning and saying "make it pedagogy" with zero of the psychological and emotional support that we KNOW kids need.
Reducing all interaction between people to operant conditioning (usually all punishment, no reinforcement) is an underrated part of the core of authoritarian right-wing thinking and you can spot it absolutely everywhere, not just in education
having consulted with some trustworthy experts, we have come to the following conclusions: - probably every time the fire alarm malfunctions it's because someone in the building had an orgasm - I should operant conditioning myself into orgasming every time I hear the fire alarm noise - "ren alarm"
The three-step process to save the world: 1. Understand how brains work 2. Tell ourselves factually true stories 3. Find solutions Requires a deep intuitive understanding of operant conditioning & high skill at discerning fact vs fiction. OR everyone networking, each bringing our best #BetterDems
Alright, my master's thesis: youtu.be/JvJZ6XXz3ys Want to save the world? Or even just yourself? Learn how brains work so you can better match the reality you THINK you know to the reality that IS. This is a dog & cat based demonstration of a highly intuitive understanding of operant conditioning
The strongest operant conditioning
#BetterDems is about using principles of operant conditioning to train our best dogs (dem politicians) to have just enough confidence to bravely try riskier movies for higher rewards without breaking their faces (or our hearts)
That's just operant conditioning, folks. It's how animal brains work; it's how OUR brains work. If you want to teach a trick and the animal's not getting it? You're doing it wrong. Learn how brains WORK. Then go re-train the democratic party to EARN VOTES.
What kind of a god behaves like that? Prayer is operant conditioning. The occasional random answer motivates continuance. It wasn't the father almighty who lifted her nighty, but Roger the lodger by god.
♾️Operant conditioning describes how all brains problem-solve. Want to train your dog? Make more sales? Manage people better? Parent better? Argue better? Change your habits? Raise your skills? BF Skinner, baby. Everyone should learn this fundamental brain science. Positive reinforcement works best!
you're right there, Hank! Just add understanding operant conditioning to your recipe and bam! enlightenment (well, not really, but a big Eureka will happen for you)
to be more assertive to ensure they get enough to eat. All can be trained using principles of operant conditioning. All cats, all brains, all billionaires and tyrants respond to the laws of BF Skinner's framework describing operant conditioning. To help them do better? You have to...
There might have been a brief moment of embarrassment when we mentioned that we were familiar with operant conditioning and the biology resident became curious about it.
They offer individual appointments for close seal encounters in the months from April to November where they explain everything about the animals and operant conditioning to you.
i think the phrase "operant conditioning" needs to come back, esp where girls are just bein pals you know girls could get up to anything
operant conditioning
Phoebe to his pheobe friends: The operant conditioning model is working as intended.
Many of the first modern interception tasks were created to test the hypothesis that better awareness of visceral signals would render them more amenable to operant conditioning.
We'd all be better off if they'd just start talking in public like they do in private. They'd quickly discover that most men—real men—actually don't talk like that, because they don't think like that. We'd also get to start literally kicking them right in the balls. Operant conditioning works.
More Owners should bring Operant Conditioning to their puppy girls. Clicker Training (Classical Conditioning) is kinda blasé at this point.
A normal rat goes like this.
I did this btw
yeah, the point is to create situations of controlled discomfort and pair with a genuine pleasant experience afterwards. ngl, my brain just sees this as something akin to performing operant conditioning on yourself
Curious. Object permanence is not Schrodinger's Cat. Behaviorism incognito and operant conditioning incognito. Aka communo-fascism How can we cheat a concept of loss on both ends legally? 'Power' Have you noticed how cats, creatures spacially gifted, don't play with boxes but go inside of them?
I don't have to worry about my passions driving me too far and hurting anyone. My self control is superhuman because it's not based on willpower it's based on years of operant conditioning. Doing the right thing feels as good as drugs
Over two years I've become conditioned to feel intense pleasure every time I think or say these words. And that's the operant conditioning part of the therapy. You don't just say that you don't want to eat junk food
What the OP described, almost perfectly, is aversive operant conditioning, which is a behavioral modification technique that uses an unpleasant stimulus to decrease an undesirable behavior, by associating the behavior with a negative consequence. Real Clockwork Orange crap.
How much do you know about Operant Conditioning?
“Operant conditioning chamber“ is what I’m going to call my home office from now on
I had to drop everything and share this incredible public domain photo on Wikimedia Commons called rat_selfie_1: "A rat in an operant conditioning chamber presses a button to take a selfie."
*** FINAL TRACK *** - The last song from the forthcoming Sagan's Lot album is a trippy instrumental, depicting our protagonist's flight into heady delirium, facilitated by operant conditioning. This is "INAUTHENTIC AFTERWORLD". www.reverbnation.com/simonjeremym...
first having it on the fetish heat-death content, then once the pathways included it, putting the colors on other things to this day, i am still shocked at how incredibly powerful operant conditioning is in all fascets of its function with this applied example.
That’s what I’m saying! Except it shouldn’t also show you a frown emoji when you speed as some people would take that as a reward. Either just show the speed or nothing. Operant conditioning for drivers! Let’s do this!
a game is a thing the player is going to Think About, even when it's something super mindless. Some part of the brain is involved. When I look at the Reality is Broken crowd, who tried to gamify everything and ended up seriously fucking up a lot of people with operant conditioning, that seems bad
This is not a bad framing. Everyone is subject to manipulation. Anyone who thinks they're not is EXTRA vulnerable to manipulation. Understanding operant conditioning (how brains learn to solve problems) would help a lot of people see what's what, I think #BetterDems
I've been doin' engineering for nearly 50 years, I had no idea what "operant conditioning" might mean. More-or-less "operator conditioning", AFAICT. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Be that as it may, it's a great (and highly amusing) piece. Recommended if you write code. Paradoxically, Jerry assures me I'm 38...
I mean this in the "you are not immune to propaganda / operant conditioning" sense, as related to constant floods of trollbots / arguebots.
I think that to the extent that I agree I think this is down to the machine learning ideal of constructing something on which classical/operant conditioning works perfectly

If I find driving my car more pleasant because the seat is more comfortable (suppose I don't consciously recognize that's why I like it), does that not count as "intentional use of operant conditioning?"
As a mental health professional, "designed to be addictive" makes me think of intentional use of operant conditioning to increase use instead of, say, creating a better product.
if there is i haven’t found it. if it doesn’t stimulate something good or bad it won’t keep me coming round for the intervals. i could try a shock collar, i suppose. it’d probably be better for my mental health but i’d be concerned about accidentally causing an operant conditioning response
"the dynamic web was also.. nevermind, i'm.. overthinking this." "okay" "...i heard a clicker in my head when I decided I was overthinking this" *clickclick* "fuck" operant conditioning is doing in two weeks what two years of therapy couldn't fuck
I don't know. It's a big hairy problem. I'm continually glad it's not my problem to solve. I'm mostly here to throw rocks and mumble about operant conditioning through UX design.
Some people are optimized for Astrophysicist & others are optimized for Memelord & I don't think the general population understands operant conditioning well enough to understand they are simply different mental skillsets & evolutionary pressures might shift to favor one vs the other at any time
it's a problem with empathy. If you cannot understand the perspectives others use to approach problems, their actions seem illogical. But "dummy" brains were trained by operant conditioning like anyone- it's just training based on silos where ie. cruel humor is rewarded and earnestness mocked
My first job was as a research assistant for an NSA-funded website cataloguing the research of two of B.F. Skinner's students who fell in love, got married, and used their education on operant conditioning to open a roadside attraction where you could play tic-tac-toe against a chicken
Hydrotherapy visualization therapy with operant conditioning is absolutely amazing! Athena what's this actually called again?

#BetterDems @casten.house.gov Learn about operant conditioning, my nerd! Starting w/ "deserved praise" to tRump on bluesky is like 1st using a supersoaker full of cat pee to spray the audience. Your understanding of facts & explain them is thwarted by a failure to *read the room* in this context
Advice to democrats: All of you need to learn the principles of operant conditioning. Train a dog! Click-treating Trump before offering advice seems like a good thing to do, but in *this* context, you're just applying aversives to people the party would be better off winning over, not pissing off
(not that any dogs are terrible, but combos of histories and temperaments can make them a challenge) humans respond to operant conditioning the same as any animal, just in a MUCH more complicated way
Not to mention a whole-handed, backhand to ALL #operant #conditioning therapies. (May they rot into detritus and be no more.)
Humans, like a lot of other animals, work on Operant Conditioning (e.g., Pavlov). Under Capitalism, we reward “savvy” business practices. Shaving costs? Firing people? Using slightly sub-quality materials? That’s just “smart business.”
This has been the case since at least 2001 but Trump is the first one to really abandon all the artifice and just repeatedly slap the button like a rat in an operant conditioning chamber
And before someone goes there: it’s a demonstration of operant conditioning not advocating zoophilia.
This is called Operant Conditioning: Ice cream sales are in fact an indicator of self-preservation during shark season. People intuitively know that they are safe from sharks while purchasing ice cream, and therefore, they do it as much as possible. BF Skinner wrote a whole chapter on it.
Maybe we should just pretend we didn't notice when he says shitty stuff, and praise him bigly when he says unoffensive stuff. A bit of operant conditioning might be all that's needed.
Approximately a third of the population worships that because of decades of operant conditioning and they have been manipulated beyond the point of no return. I do not acknowledge that thing as our leader- I simply want to get through this with our constitution restored and to regain lost freedoms.
Actually mental blocks are also a highly effective method we used using prompts like "I literally can't imagine ever Not being a blue zone vegan." After several months of operant conditioning you literally get to the point where the very idea of not being a vegan is like a mental
Basically humans can reprogram their unconscious mind by reprogramming their subconscious mind and it just takes repetition affirmation visualizations lots of different kinds of meditations as well as some other stuff like CBT but The operant conditioning is the easiest.
Not sure what you're getting at here, do you mean like classical vs operant conditioning? Because in my mind they work together
They try to do it to us. But operant conditioning works both ways.
Behaviors that get rewarded get repeated. B.F. Skinner called it operant conditioning. Once your brain feels the payoff — relief, recognition, connection — you're hooked. #femdom #findom #findomme #finsub #financialdomination
Here's my personal highlight from "I'm Not a Robot":
Was just gonna say - any good dog trainer knows, it's basic operant conditioning. The loud backlash was +punishment, the cancellations were -punishment, and Disney reversed their decision in response. But to reinforce and maintain the desired behavior once you achieve it, you need to reward it
Get one of those operant conditioning clickers! "I *didn't* bash my shoulder into the door frame this time!" *click click*
In fact, if we'd had jokes like that when I studied operant conditioning, I would have been a psychologist by now.
Perfect strategy. Asking questions can be a method to reprogram operant conditioning by changing the discriminative stimuli that trigger behaviors and the resulting consequences. By strategically reinforcing certain types of questions, a person can become more likely to ask them in the future.
I just made a post that lost me a follow but all the mutuals like it. That's the sneaky bot army. Forget comments. Operant conditioning. Get a significant portion of a person's followers to be bots and drop them if they step out of line.

u are not immune to self-inflicted operant conditioning
Operant conditioning is a type of learning where behaviors are influenced by their consequences—reinforced behaviors are more likely to recur, while punished behaviors are less likely to recur. In this activity, you will identify positive and negative reinforcement as well as positive and negative p
Praise be to Saint Pavlov and his holy gift to puppygirls: operant conditioning. Hail! *Click* Hail! *Click* Hail! *Click*
I will not be encouraging violence. I will, however, reinforce Skinner's theory in psychology circles, otherwise known as I operant conditioning, which states that behavior is learned through consequence. Let's break it down. (A thread [1/])
It's not just Art Collectives (where one member always inexplicably comes out top), it's diffuse operant conditioning by Web 3.0 platforms, and normalisation of it's modes into everyday life
Villagers! Órla Ní Eadhra, a Villager who underwent intense Speed Learn sessions and Operant Conditioning in the Village Hospital, is in tonight's FINAL of "The Great British Sewing Bee". If she doesn't win, ALL VILLAGERS will be expected to TELEPATHICALLY ATTACK the BBC. Be seeing you.
contingency management! :) we’ve used cash, coupons/tokens for food/meals, gift cards, & also raffle tickets raffle tickets do very well (unsurprisingly in an operant conditioning model) participants get more tix for each abstinent day since the last raffle, & there are weekly raffles
It's been a long time in the making, but here is my paper questioning the role of intelligent design in evolution and operant conditioning. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
That's the meat and potatoes of the program. Once they get the viewer receiving their emotion-signals, the rest is just operant conditioning. Two stimuli delivered in proximity in order to condition an association. Not many people pick up on the second stimulus can just be tone or expression.

Through a method called operant conditioning, Eunice Framm teaches zoo animals to receive vaccines and perform for visitors.
Operant conditioning and variable rewards make habits stick; make your issues occasionally contain an irresistible, immediately usable asset and people will keep coming back. Practically: design each issue as a micro-tool. Give a one-line template someone can paste into Slack.
I’d really like it to be that way but with this regime I’m not sure that will be possible in the end. That right wing nut died and other wing nuts are muttering that the leftists should be shot
For this, we trained the seal to adjust his vocalizations' duration via operant conditioning, reinforcing both short and long durations in separate sessions - this led to the emergence of vocalizations as short as 79 ms, and as long as 9.23 seconds...
I'd support an operant conditioning approach and just ignore behaviour you don't want.
(Incidentally, I would love to see someone write the historical throughline from this fever dream of Communist operant conditioning and the practice of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) as it is—even now!—forced upon autistic children.)
Trump Says It’s Not His Signature. But Personal Letters Look Similar. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u... Seems like operant conditioning which can lead false confessions. Is this how to commit an illegal interrogation or expose k-12 sociological education?
I think continuing to publicly shame them for their operant conditioning is good enough.
what really makes it sing is that it's not full-throttle mind control, it's literally just a pleasure trigger and a punishment trigger, so it's just basic operant conditioning that she KNOWS is training her but is powerless to resist
Yeah exactly!!! Operant conditioning is a beautiful thing~
The difference between classical and operant conditioning www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6LE...
Humans have a brain reward from learning. Tiny kids take joy in it. Somehow the US educational system kills that brain reward using operant conditioning so that people automatically avoid learning. That sort of training causes rapid irrational PTSD reactions. We educate people into trauma avoidance
Aren’t there specially-formulated digestible bitter oils/spreads you can apply to the furniture for a little bit of operant conditioning.
the skinner box (also known as the operant conditioning chamber) theory is a real phenomenon with video games if you hate certain parts of a game (ie: pvp, dailies, etc) but still choose to do them for a reward: congratulations! you made yourself the rat in the skinner box!
There is a difference between knowing something theoretically and being able to execute on it. Something can be easy to do but difficult to master. Even with very effective and methodical operant conditioning as well as cognitive behavioral therapy and other techniques.. This is not easy!
