After an engineering career and a stint in the Peace Corps, I obtained a PhD in psychology and had an academic career. My award-winning book for the public, The Science of Consequences, covers basic learning principles (like positive reinforcement), their important role in nature-nurture relations, and their many applications. The book earned coverage in top journal Nature and led to an international book tour. A lifelong environmental activist, I now mainly work on bringing these behavior principles to bear on the climate crisis. We need all the help we can get . . .

“Similarly, classroom reprimands sometimes function as reinforcers because of the attention that goes with them (from classmates as well as from the teacher).3 If a “reward” has no effect on a behavior, then it’s not a reward: Again, it’s what actually happens that matters.”
