[@analevy4034]

I'm intrigued by what happened later in the lives of these children? How are they doing now?

Fuller Theological Seminary ND It's Graduate School of Theology is no longer predominantly Behaviorist. It is interesting that it used to be. These video vignette are fascinating. Very informatove.

this is great, thanks for posting. Would anyone know if there are any published experiments connected to this video?

"Jim, if you don't cooperate I will whoop your ass." Would Jimmy cooperate or would he go all in with his chips?

For everyone who knows more than me, any guess on what wristwatch is skinner wearing on minute 16.40 circa?

B.F. Skinner said (1:28) to control the behaviour, control the environment (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYGbnJKapL6Yfdk), while both environment and willpower are important because they have the same "origin", balancing the using them is the most effective, so on for many polar things in our universe .

It's wrong they were trying to take the shirt off of a little boy. I would also be upset, it wouldn't make sense to a child (and barely makes sense to me). If he's in there for behavioral problems...why exactly do his back muscles need to be so closely studied...? I think he did nothing wrong there, it's creepy and he feels it.

[@MillionsofMax.s]

This was done to see his resistance to logical and illogical questions.

I agree! It's creepy. "No means no Bill Cosby" - E. Cartman

That is why you are not a psychologist :) Let everybody do their job, I am not telling someone in McDonalds how to make a Big Mac. You will have to trust science on this or you will have to immerse yourself in studying Psychology, that is it.

[@alexxx4434]

Yeah, forcefully taking his shirt off and then wondering about the 'temper tantrums'. It's like they are seeing him as an object not a human being. Is that what kind of reductionism the belief in absolutism of behaviorism leads to? This reminds me, never get into a mental health institution, as you will most probably be treated there as an object.

[@edawg-rv2ut]

There's obviously a reason why they're doing it.

[@alexxx4434]

Are we sure Jimmy wasn't going through domestic abuse at home?

[@beautifulmaking730]

That kid is an unrealized force of Mahayana.

[@alexxx4434]

We live in a modern world where such mechanistic view on a human behavior has won over. The view that a human is no more than the sum of its parts and experiences. Consequently a human is viewed and treated as just a mechanical part of a bigger socio-economical mechanical system. All this leaves no room and no use for humanity.

[@gmmaal7161]

I wouldn't want my shirt taken off by that woman either.

[@Urke678]

You would rather take your underpants off?

[@edawg-rv2ut]

@@Urke678 LMFAO

[@petersantospago1966]

Let's see.... Force a child against his will to take his shirt off so you can examine his back muscles..... I wonder what that smacks of.

[@tomestubbs]

It's about control.

[@mihai-andreineacsu4779]

How about bringing him in a different environment. Outside this "box experiment" where he was kept. I mean like we are told that the world we are living in is "big" but we live in a limited area not seeing that bigness.

[@galbeeri8360]

he was living in the outside world but the parents were bad and didn't know how to manage his behavior. it's a short term treatment but won't help unless the parents are educaited

[@truesecurity4042]

good boy points! let the tendies hit the floor.

[@michaelwright8896]

What's "good boy points" is that where you get points in prison for letting someone rape you where you can than spend them on bread, chicken tendies, ect;
