Go ahead and berate. I have a thick skin. My anecdote was meant merely as an illustration of what seems to me to be what intro-psych textbooks call vicarious conditioning, so that I could ask my question about other textbook examples of it, especially the one that I mentioned, which seem more like "classical" Pavlovian conditioning to me. As a graduate student in the 1980s, I read most of the major books and journal articles about conditioning and learning that presented the then-current theories of conditioning/learning, and even performed experimental research in Dipteran learning. But vicarious conditioning was not something that was thought to be an important aspect of learning in various species of flies, so my theoretical understanding of it is limited to what I've picked up when trying to teach the topic. So all input is welcomed--even input that includes berating if you wish. :-) Best, Jeff -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffry Ricker, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology http://sccpsy101.com/curriculum-vitae/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scottsdale Community College 9000 E.
