B. F. Skinner is perhaps the most famous psychologist after Sigmund Freud. B. F. Skinner's entire system is based on operant conditioning.
One of Skinner's most famous and interesting experiments examined the formation of superstition in one of his favorite experimental animals, the pigeon. Skinner placed several hungry pigeons in a cage attached to an automatic mechanism that delivered food to the pigeon "at regular intervals with no reference whatsoever to the bird's behavior". He discovered that the pigeons associated the delivery of the food with whatever chance actions they had been performing. They continued to perform the same actions: one bird was conditioned to turn counter-clockwise about the cage, making two or three turns between reinforcements. Another repeatedly pushed its head into one of the upper corners of the cage. A third developed a 'tossing' response, as if placing its head beneath an invisible bar and lifting it repeatedly.
Skinner suggested that the pigeons believed that they were influencing the automatic mechanism with their "rituals". Skinner thought that the experiment also shed light on human behaviour.
The experiment demonstrates how superstitions form and function. The bird behaves as if there were a relation between its behaviour and the presentation of food. There are many analogies in human behavior. Rituals for changing one's luck at cards are good examples. The bowler who has released a ball down the alley but continues to behave as if he were controlling it by twisting and turning his arm and shoulder is another case in point. These behaviours have, of course, no real effect upon one's luck or upon a ball halfway down an alley, just as in the present case the food would appear as often if the pigeon did nothing - or, more strictly speaking, did something else.
Skinner enjoyed considerable popularity during the 1960's and even into the 70's. But both the humanistic movement in the clinical world, and the cognitive movement in the experimental world, were gaining popularity
