“When everything you have learned is forgotten, all that remains is education.” This is what the famous American psychologist Borges Frederic Skinner said in "New Scientist" magazine remarks posted on.
This sentence originally came from Skinner, and later Einstein said in one of his speeches: "A philosopher once said: When you forget everything you learned in school, The rest is education."
The previous sentence "A philosopher said" can be found in Einstein's collected works. Einstein himself clearly stated that it was not his original creation. Since he did not name the original author, it was later assumed that this sentence came from Einstein. Skinner was almost a contemporary of Einstein. He was a professional in education. At that time, his popularity and influence were no less than those of Einstein.

Skinner's research on learning theory is His main contributions are in the following aspects:
1. Skinner discovered the phenomenon of operant conditioning and conducted serious experimental and theoretical research on it. This research is rich. It provides experimental research on conditioned reflexes, fills a gap in the type of conditioned reflexes, and also breaks the traditional behaviorist misconception of "no stimulus, no response"
2. Skinner. The experimental research on "error-free discrimination" is meaningful. It can be used for reference in both animal behavior training and student behavior shaping. It also has guiding significance for classroom teaching.
< p>3. Skinner's experimental research on "reinforcement procedures" is in-depth, specific, and highly systematic. The reinforcement rules revealed are objective and reliable. It is a required course for animal trainers and is used to manage human behavior. It also has important reference value for the control and motivation of students' learning process.Baidu Encyclopedia--Burges Frederick Skinner (American Psychologist)
