Science and Human Behavior, Chapter 16: Thinking, Quote 1

Science and Human Behavior“The individual manipulates relevant variables in making a decision because the behavior of doing so has certain reinforcing consequences.

Conflicting alternatives lead to an oscillation between incomplete forms of response which, by occupying a good deal of the individual’s time, may be strongly aversive.” (p. 244)
