Watson and Skinner, naively thought they were aping physics. They stupidly thought that physics was based on observation. All knowledge depends on hypothesis and testing.
holy smoly, my friend had his grandfather lose everything in the russian revolution, made the biggest bra factory in china in harbin and then lost everything in the maoist revolution before imigrating to israel, his dad is not a capitalist
Thanks, Dr. Locke and James V. I had forgotten that essay on Skinner's work.....
This is fascinating on the identity of consciousness.
B.S. Skinner
Yep
oh no! i missed it!
Reinforcement is as real as phlogiston. Skinner was a pseudo scientist , a throwback to the Dark Ages.
There was Gestalt Psychology, but it didn’t seem to be very significant then.
If you read the story of how Skinner became a behaviorist it seems more like a religious conversion than a rational choice.
James and Ed in the same video? My dream has come true! just don't tell my wife.
