HERE.For my own "sense of humor," I wrote a flyer
HERE for a Professional Development Day workshop that Allison Torres, Jancis Long, and I did at San Jose City College 1/28.It shows a "rat experiment" by Edward C. Tolman which shows "rats have feelings" - that they do "purposive learning" not just "response learning." Tolman did many experiments aimed at moving the rats out of the "behavior object" category.
The workshop was BTW successful and seems to have had a positive impact on SJCC.
Still, what you say about "a long way to go" hits home. In the 70s I used this experiment (the Psych Dept. at U.C. Berkeley is named after Tolman) and others like it to argue to the U.C. Psych Dept. that I was not properly to be treated as "behavior object." Many psychologists concurred but the overall effect was that "torture denial" won the day
:-( and my career direction was .. "managed."We are submitting "version 19" of the "New Social Roles" proposal today. Like Ttt I agree that yr. "Family Dog" advocacy needs to be enhanced and spread around more. The issue relates to what is sometimes called "terms of engagement."
