Contingencies of Reinforcement. Chapter 6: An Operant Analysis of Problem Solving. Quote 8

“A child learns to describe both the world to which he is reacting and the consequences of his reactions . . . Descriptions of his own behavior are especially important. The community asks him: What did you do? What are you doing? What are you going to do? And why? and his answers describe his behavior and relate it to effective variables. The answers eventually prove valuable to the child himself.” (pp. 142-143)
