[tips] Raising Hitler to be a nice person
I just finished reading another obituary for O. Ivar Lovaas, which ended with this astounding statement: To the end of his career, Dr. Lovaas was adamant that applied behavior analysis was supremely useful in childhood interventions of all kinds. “If I had gotten Hitler here at U.C.L.A. at the age of 4 or 5,” he told Los Angeles magazine in 2004, “I could have raised him to be a nice person.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/23/health/23lovaas.html I don't know whether this is a result of a stunning ego, underappreciation on my part, or maybe he was misquoted, like Freud in his statement about the Nazis.

Re: [tips] Raising Hitler to be a nice person
Paul, you are one of the very few that provide the notorious and ubiquitous quote by Watson in its' entirety. Most sources don't include the last part where Watson states I am going beyond my fact and I admit it, but so have . . Bet many on this listserv have not even been the complete quote. Joan Joan Warmbold Boggs jwarm...@oakton.edu Paul Brandon wrote: The quotation: “ Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors. I am going beyond my facts and I admit it, but so have the advocates of the contrary and they have been doing it for many thousands of years. [Behaviorism (1930), p. 82] ” Note the second clause of the first sentence; I suspect that Lovaas would have agreed (to answer Jim's question as well). Same logic as Archimedes' 'Give me a long enough lever and a place to rest my fulcrum and I could move the Earth.' Stating the conditions under which you could accomplish something doesn't mean that it's likely that you would actually HAVE those conditions available to you.

RE: [tips] Article on Marc Hauser's lab
Awesome! I love seeing someone be skeptical of those studies. I'd seen a PBS show about those studies a few weeks ago and thought that it looked insufficiently controlled for them to make the claims they were making. But, I wasn't willing to be dismissive because often when they show how psychological studies are done some of the controls are not indicated clearly, so I didn't want to simply dismiss them. Your having taken your dog to the study gives an insiders view of how that lab operates. But, I think you may be too hard on the difficulty of psychologists to isolate dog behavior in the lab. They would do well to get some people who really know dogs and are aware that dogs are social hierarchy pack animals. I think that the studies could be properly designed and executed, and finding good evidence for theory of mind in dogs seems likely to me. Having a theory of mind seems pretty valuable for that particularly kind of mammal. Cooperative behavior in the pack might be the key to the value of a theory of mind. I can only effectively cooperate with you if I can imagine what your perspective and opportunities in the situation is. Domesticated dogs are sensitive to humans meaning that the experiments need to have timing cues for everyone so that the dog is not getting signals from anyone. It could be done, IMO. Paul C.

Weather is fine, maybe a little bit of rain and near the 70's, thanks for asking (I think in Sherbrooke, Canada, it's about 54°F right now). I'm near the Equator so we dont have seasons, it's the same temperature all year long (depending on the altitude, I live at 7000 ft or 2150 m), so there are just rainy seasons and dry seasons... There are two universities with very similar names, one of those is the one that you find in Chile (Universidad Catolica del Norte) and the other one is in Colombia (Fundacion Universitaria Catolica del Norte). I'm in Colombia, near Medellin, working for an online psychology program. Two months ago we also have a tragedy with miners in this state (Antioquia), but they weren't so lucky, all 73 died http://www.minesandcommunities.org/article.php?a=10196 so I was really pessimistic with the Chileans at the beginning, and now I'm glad to see that I was wrong. I don't know if I'm the only tipster from South America, but I enjoy a lot the discussion between TIPSters around teaching tips and psychology, that's why I subscribed to the TIPS list and to the PSYTEACH list too. I haven't see something like the APA Division 2 here in South America, so maybe that's why there aren't a lot of latino psychologists in TIPS (and, of course, because of the language barrier). Since last year I've been working trying to overcome a little this barrier translating some teaching tips to Spanish and sharing them with other psychology teachers, making a website about the teaching of psychology in Spanish, having a mail list to share information about the teaching of psychology, and translating to Spanish the main page of the OTRP Teaching of Psychology Idea Exchange http://teachpsych.pbworks.com/ (the En Espanol section). My next step is going to be the Webinars (using Microsoft Office Live Meeting, GotoMeeting, WebEx or similar). Right now it's a kind of solitary effort, but I think that in the future more colleagues will be interested and will also be able to participate more in this knowledge and expertise sharing projects. I hope that all the TIPSters will have a nice weekend, Alejandro _ Alejandro Franco Psychology Coordinator Northern Catholic University Email: alejandro.franc...@gmail.com Skype: ensepsi --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
