More as Promised Apologies for the delay in adding to last week's rather skimpy post!

Behaviourism

There is a vast amount of material on the web on behaviourism, some of which I have sifted at:

• http://www.doceo.co.uk/academic/learning_links.htm#Behavioural

There are good accounts of the theory and its applicability to animal training at:

• http://www.dogschool.co.uk/condition1.htm and
• http://www.dogschool.co.uk/condition2.htm

If you are searching for yourself, remember that "behavior" will get many more hits than "behaviour". If you come across anything particularly good, let me know, please.

For an interesting simulation of Pavlov's original experiment, try:

• http://www.uwm.edu/~johnchay/cc.htm(it needs the Shockwave plug-in, but tells you how to get it [free])
• http://www.monkeyfist.com/ChomskyArchive/linguistics/skinner2_html/ for a reprint of Chomsky's demolition job on Skinner on language acquisition; I had to cut this because of time, but we can pick up on it next session if you like. If you remember we discussed the issue briefly in relation to the "What is learned?" exercise a few weeks back.
  

The downloaded videos I shall refer to next week can be previewed here:

• Classical conditioning with a clicker (RealPlayer movie: download free version here)
• Basic chicken training (QuickTime movie: download free version here)
• Shaping chicken behaviour (also QuickTime)
  (Note: be careful when downloading movie players: they use sneaky tricks to get you to sign up for more than you bargained for!)
  
• There are some summary notes available to download here; they take the form of a gapped handout to accompany a slightly different version of the presentation.

Havea good break—I'll see you next week.  12:11
