With which statement would B. F. Skinner most likely agree?

(A) Pavlov’s dog learned to expect that food would follow the bell.
(B) Baby Albert thought the white rat meant the loud noise would sound.

(D) Pigeons peck disks knowing that they will receive food.
(E) Cognition plays an important role in learning.

Answer
(C) All learning is observable.

Explanation
B. F. Skinner believed that all learning was observable. He did not believe that learning had a cognitive component but, rather, took a radical behaviorist position that behavior was all there was. All the other choices suggest learning has a cognitive component (expectation, thought, knowing, cognition), and therefore Skinner would disagree with them.
