Burrhus Frederic Skinner was born on March 20, 1904, and died on August 18, 1990. Skinner considered that human actions were consequences of actions done in the recent or distant past. He thought that free will was just an illusion and that we are guided by our past actions. If the actions had good outcomes we are encouraged to do them again, and if not, we are more likely to not do the same actions again.
