Abstract

Two forms of programs have been developed so far. One is called linear programming and the other branching programming. The linear type of program was invented by Professor B. F. Skinner on the basis of a conditioned reflex theory of learning. In linear programs the student is given small bits of information, is asked to respond to this information by filling in a blank in a sentence, or giving a one word response to a question and then is immediately informed of the correct response. This is followed by another small bit of information, another statement requiring a response by the student, and again the student is informed of the correct response. This pattern is continued over and over again.
