Such explanations are readily available. One area of research was particularly damaging to Skinner’s theory.
Brown and Jenkins (1968) discovered autoshaping, a procedure whereby Pavlovian procedures can induce key-pecking in pigeons (the procedure can be modified to produce bar-pressing in rats). Thus, the key-peck and the bar-press, the two paradigmatic operants, became respondents. A broader review (Mills 1988) shows that, when hungry or thirsty, rats and pigeons emit instinctively based food- or water-gaining responses. Thus, pigeons peck with the beak closed when they are hungry and the beak open when they are thirsty, while rats will grasp and gnaw at an object associated with food (e.g., the lever in the Skinner box).
Cognitive and sociocultural explanations will have to be found to explain human responses to rewards and punishments

“These poor people came and were staying at whatever was available, in the schools, and in the big bathhouse, and we spent our weekends touring and dancing for them — something I will never forget, because it was very emotional,” von Sydow [told the Jewish Journal](https://jewishjournal.com/mobile_20111212/101208/). “Some were carried in on stretchers to watch the shows; for many, it was their first entertainment after the hell of the camps.”
Von Sydow and his company sang the national anthems of the survivors’ home countries, giving them comfort before many of them passed away.
