B. F. Skinner quote: "What is love except another name for the use of positive..."
What is love except another name for the use of positive reinforcement? Or vice versa. B. F. Skinner

They are doing what they want to do, not what they are forced to do. That's the source of the tremendous power of positive reinforcement-- there's no restraint and no revolt. By careful cultural design, we control not the final behavior, but the inclination to behave-- the motives, desires, the wishes. B. F. Skinner
