If the consequences are bad, there is a high chance the action will not be repeated; if the consequences are good, the actions that led to it being repeated become more unlikely to happen again. Skinner called this the principle of reinforcement. To strengthen the behavior, Skinner used operant conditioning, and he viewed the rate of responses to be the most helpful measure of response strength. To study operant conditioning in more depth, he made the operant conditioning chamber, also known as the Skinner
