If my memory serves me right,Pavlov's classical conditioning discovery was accidental in nature.It is my understanding that the dude was a Physiologist with research interests in canine digestive systems.He paid attention to salivary responses of the dog chewing a burger from the Leningrad MacDonald's. What surprised him was that the dog just seeing the plate elicited saliva oing down the neck implanted test tube.and similarly when fido saw him put on his lab coat.Based on these serendipitous observations Ivan concluded concluded that associating anything with a food delivery system would elicit a response, And these observations led him to introduce the bell/metronome as an adjunct to the associative network. Bf Skinner,apparently, observed rapid response rates,when his magazjne rat pellets machine jammed and gave the impetus to experment with the effects of schedules on response rates. Aldous Huxley's discovered the effect of a hallucinogen by accident. Please note that I stand corrected. Send me something. michael --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
