Abstract
The definition of an operant as a response class each of whose members possesses the property upon which reinforcement is contingent is not broad enough to cover the units that are supposed in Skinner's accounts of extinction, superstition, and transfer of learning. A broader definition is suggested. Finally, properties defining operants are discussed.Year: 1971 PMID: 16811526 PMCID: PMC1333854 DOI: 10.1901/jeab.1971.15-413
