In terms of Dilts&#8216; Logical Levels, we could view this kind of conditioning as happening only on the lowest levels, &#8222;Environment&#8220; and &#8222;Behaviour.&#8220; The work of Chomsky and the modern cognitive psychology movement has shown that there is a lot more controlling our behaviour than environmental variables (all the higher levels on the Logical Levels: Capabilities, Beliefs&amp;Values, Identity etc.). Still, anchoring is such an effective technique that the work of Skinner is still highly relevant for NLP practitioners today.
