Dear Tipsters-- Our department has a VHS of a segment from the "That's Incredible" TV Program (hosted by John Davidson, Fran Tarkenton and Cathy Lee Crosby) that features "rat basketball." It is a great 5 minute illustration of what can be accomplished through operant conditioning, and out students just love it. However, our copy is starting to wear out. On the tape it mentions that in a previous season of the show, a 2-rat basketball game was played but this episode features a total of 4 rats shooting some hoops. And on the tape, it mentions a "James Devine" at "DeKalb University" I've done some google searches, but haven't had any luck finding the episode or this "James Devine" so I thought I would see if tipsters could help or point me in the right direction.
