Pavlovian, Skinner and other behaviourists contribution to AI

In psychology one defined  learning as adaptive changes of behaviour.
On the other hand in biology if an animal changes its behaviour 
to adapt to  new circumstances (changed environment)
one thinks of it as intelligent in some sense.
A version of the definition of intelligent behaviour will be 
supplied in the context of real and  artificial systems.
Short  presentation of  principles of learning, 
starting with  Pavlovian's conditioned response (reflex) 
through reinforced response  and operant conditioning of
Thorndike and Skinner  will be given.
Some tools of artificial intelligence that act according
to those principle will be presented.
An attempt will be made to show how some simple rules
for behaviour modifications can lead to a complex intelligent behaviour.
