At School
Skinner and others had ideas that textbooks and machines would shape learning in small steps by immediately reinforcing correct responses.
Now possible due to online learning and that students can go at their own pace and the teacher can help the students if they need it
In Sports
Rewards can play a big part in athletic performance as when you learn a sport you have small successes and the gradually keep increasing the challenge
Compared to children taught by conventional methods, those trained by this behavioral method have shown faster skill improvement
In Parenting
Parents could use the basic rule of shaping: notice people doing something right and affirm them for it. give children attention and other reinforces when they are behaving well
At Work
We see in the workplace that rewards seem to up productivity if the desired performance is both well-defined and achievable.
We are reminded that rewards need to be immediate by operate conditioning (they don't need to be materialistic or lavish a simple show of gratitude would work)

Exposed the rats to a particular taste, sight, or sound and later to radiation or drugs that lead to nausea and vomiting
Found out two thing

Mirror neurons
Frontal lobe neurons that some scientists believe fire when we perform certain actions or observe another doing so. The brains mirroring of another action may enable imitation and empathy
