		<description><![CDATA[Over on eHow, contributor Greg Stone noted that B. F. Skinner&#8217;s studies in the 1950s helped educators develop ways to use positive reinforcement in classrooms. Apart from the mysterious date reference, so far, so good. Mr. Stone continued, &#8220;Positive reinforcement helps reinforce and shape behavior in the classroom.

		<description><![CDATA[I was happy to note that several students in the first meeting of my introductory class this term knew that negative reinforcement does not mean punishment. Sadly, I happened to come across another example of folks perpetuating that very misinformation. Over on wiseGEEK, a relatively long-standing Internet source that provides answers to questions, there is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When repeatedly confronted with evidence about their effectiveness, some who drag their feet about using behaviorally based methods might reluctantly concede that such procdures would be effective in certain circumstances. For example, someone might agree that there is an abundance of evidence that the Good Behavior Game can be used effectively and even concede that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it&#8217;s just my perception, but I think a lot of people see the arts and behavioral principles as antithetical. That is, one who embraces the arts holds philosophical views that are incompatible with behaviorism. Of course, this is not true, from my point of view, but I&#8217;ve suspected that others considered it true. Even [...]]]></description>
