Hello, does any one have information on B.F Skinner operant conditioning? The question: How is operant conditioning used in health care? I've seen the example of an massage therapist in my book but I'm still not getting it. Some information will greatly be appreciated! Thanks.

If you google it you will get a full description of his exact theory. http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/skinner.html Try that site. If that still doesn't help you let me know and I'll pull out my old psych notes.
