How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T5080968 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Skinner box
The Skinner box is an experimental apparatus used in behavioral psychology to study and control animal learning through systematically administered rewards and punishments.
-
B.
behaviorism
Behaviorism is a psychological approach that explains behavior in terms of observable actions shaped by environmental stimuli and reinforcement, largely rejecting internal mental states as objects of scientific study.
-
C.
Hebbian learning
Hebbian learning is a neurobiological and computational learning principle often summarized as "cells that fire together wire together," where the connection between neurons is strengthened when they are activated simultaneously.
-
D.
radical behaviorism
Radical behaviorism is a school of psychology that explains behavior primarily in terms of observable actions and environmental contingencies, extending this analysis to private events like thoughts and feelings without invoking internal mental causes.
-
E.
The Structure of Behavior
The Structure of Behavior is a foundational philosophical work by Maurice Merleau-Ponty that critiques both empiricism and intellectualism while developing a phenomenological account of perception and embodied behavior.
- F. None of above. chosen

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Subject: conditioned reflex Description of subject: A conditioned reflex is a learned, automatic response that develops when a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that naturally elicits that response.
