Beating Dolls, Terrifying Children, Slobbering Dogs and More!

All the famous experiments in Learning in one convienent location!


Get paired with this stimulus as Pavlov rings your bell!

Be amazed as a fat baby learns to become terrified of small furry things in John Watson's famously naughty "Little Albert Experiment"

Gasp in wonder as pigeons become addicted to gambling via the wonders of operant conditioning in a radical "Skinner Box".

You'll find yourself saying "a-ha!" as the mysteries of insight learning unfold in this goofy re-enactment of Kohler's gifted chimps.

And what list would be complete without children mercilessly beating a helpless clown with anything they can get their hands on?

Saturday School... It's not just for Suckers any more!

I will make an extremely rare appearance at 3019 Canal Street on Saturday, October 9, 2010 from noon until 2pm. We'll review Sensation and Perception and have a little introduction to Consciousness. Be there.
