The references I provided are from real scientific literature, researchers at leading universities and it is perfectly acceptable as a discussion technique for both parties to use referenced material.
Can you show me where you actually produced any references to the scientific literature?
Operant conditioning, sometimes called instrumental conditioning or instrumental learning, was first extensively studied by Edward L. Thorndike (1874-1949).
One person entire body of work on a subject is not a reference to the scientific literature.
However, the results were not as impressive as had been reported from the Washoe project ...... to argue that the apparently impressive results may have resulted from a relatively informal experimental approach.
This is just lifted straight out of wikipedia, without even any attribution.
If you want your references to the scientific literature to be taken seriously you might think about actually providing some.
