Question 1 Not yet graded / 4 pts
What was B.F. Skinner’s position on free will? Be specific and thorough in
your answer. Where does he therefore fall on the nature/nurture debate?
Your answer:
B.F Skinner believed that free will was an illusion and that every action
was as a result of conditioning either classic or operant. He believed that
people behaved a particular way based on the schedule they are
provided.
He falls under the nurture debate as he he was certain that people could
be taught anything and their actions are based on what they have been
conditioned to know.
Answers need to indicate the following: -there is no free will, -
all behavior is due to conditioning, -we only think it’s free will
because we can’t see what causes the behavior, -fully on the
nurture side.
