All parents condition their children in some form or another, this is just the extreme end of the spectrum. The daughter seemed to be okay with the experiment and I don't think Skinner was harsh to her or used the box as a severe punishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-59546844958944185732013-11-07T10:53:17.802-06:002013-11-07T10:53:17.802-06:00A random comment on science: do you believe magic ...A random comment on science: do you believe magic is science that we don't understand? ... <br />-Seneca (H3)<br />Senecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782160111976580793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-84161236942207876582013-11-07T10:42:43.285-06:002013-11-07T10:42:43.285-06:00I'm with Olivia (The Highlanders) - we need to...I'm with Olivia (The Highlanders) - we need to talk about this, guys. <br /><br />Factual Question: Was Darwin a philosopher? (Answer: No. He was a biologist and geologist.)<br /><br />Discussion Question: What are your thoughts on Evolution vs. Intelligent Design? <br /><br />I really liked our discussion. We always seem to find a way to bring these issues around to modern topics, which I think is actually a good thing. What use is philosophy if it's not applicable to the real world, after all? And we all seem to have some really good opinions on the things that we discuss, so it's always fun to hear the different perspectives on the issues we discuss. <br /><br />Link: Some quotes from Darwin - I think he has some really interesting opinions, too. <br />http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/charles_darwin.htmlLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592178718049975723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-83137920881825507352013-11-07T10:38:13.992-06:002013-11-07T10:38:13.992-06:00And yet time-out is still a popular form of punish...And yet time-out is still a popular form of punishment in Western Culture. In a way, all forms of punishment are operant conditioning. Even touching a hot stove and getting a burn is a way of conditioning. I think a lot of people misunderstand Skinner's experiment, and while I'm not sure experimenting on your child is something I can morally get behind, I would also caution against dismissing him so quickly.
