     From reading these links, it appears that the principles for this 
are based upon psychological research that goes back to Pavlov's dogs 
and later B. F. Skinner's research in rewards and punishment. He 
designed and used the Skinner box in his research. Another result that 
has come from this is behavior modification which has been in use for 
some time (many decades).
     Books and articles on positive thinking also follow the same 
principles. They do discuss behavior modification after all.
     So while the terminology changes because of the background of the 
people like Bacon, the underlying principles remain the same. They do 
work, and work well.
