On Two Types of Conditioned Reflex

Abstract

Skinner's paper on two types of conditioned reflex (15) is of considerable interest as an attempt to introdue [sic] more clarity and precision than has been formerly done into that old and often discussed topic of conditioned reflex. In his paper, which is based on his former experimental findings (10, 11, 12, 13) and on certain theoretical considerations of his own concerning general nature of the reflex (9, 14), Skinner gives two following paradigms [in which S = stimulus, R = response, (S R) = reflex ----= is followed by].
