Well Skinner was a radical behaviorist who believed that we are in the same likeness as rats and can virtually have no free will-- (his beliefs are no longer mainstream psychology as well.) Not discrediting his work by any means, it just seems that when people think psychology they think Freud or Skinner. Which is in no way a retrospect of the way psychology has progressed and is viewed academically today. Also according to Skinner's studies it is much more rewarding not knowing when the reward will be given, creating a much more satisfied stimuli. Pigeons will exaggeratedly dance before they receive their reward, even though the reward is given in set incriminates. Thus making them believe their responses are truly what's rewarding them.
