Skinner, a behaviorist, focused on observable behaviors and the conditions that affect those behaviors. He would likely reject "voluntary" because it implies an internal decision-making process, which is not easily observable or measurable. Skinner emphasized operant conditioning, which involves learning from the consequences of behavior, whether it is deemed voluntary or involuntary in common parlance.
