SKINNER'S MODEL OF SELECTION BY CONSEQUENCES
Abstract
In this series of articles Skinner's model of selection by
consequences is critically presented. The role of the consequences of
behavior in behavioral processes is analized at the ontogenetic, philogenetic,
and cultural levels. Both biological and behavioral characteristics
are shaped by selective processes based on the interaction between organism
and environment. This accounts for Skinner's usage of the evolutionary model as a basis for the development of human behavior. Skinner
also adds a third level, the cultural one, which is mediated by the other
two. Skinner's proposition is exposed, analized, and debated.
