The Power of Reinforcement.
By Stephen Ray Flora, Professor,
Psychology. State University of
New York Press. 2004. $22.95.
Flora describes that reinforcement
is a powerful tool for improving the
human condition despite often being
dismissed as regarding people as less
than human and as “overly simplistic.”
This book addresses and defends the
use of reinforcement principles against
a wide variety of attacks. Countering
the criticisms, and misrepresentations
of reinforcement, the author shows
that building reinforcement theory on
basic laboratory science is a strength,
not a weakness, and allows unlimited
applications to human situations as it
promotes well-being and productivity.
