Drs. Robert Epstein & BF Skinner with Pigeons-Part 1

Psychologists Epstein and Skinner in a classic classroom film originally released in 1982 and dubbed "best film of the year" by the American Psychological Association. In sometimes stunning footage, the film shows that pigeons, with the right training, can behave in ways that appear to demonstrate advanced human phenomena: self-awareness, insight, problem solving, imitation, symbolic communication, and even the use of a memorandum. The film defends a "behavioristic" interpretation of cognitive phenomena. For more information, visit http://DrEpstein.com. For technical information about the research, see Dr. Epstein's book, Cognition, Creativity, and Behavior: Selected Essays or individual scientific papers available at his website.

Not much of a choice. Don't work, get no money, die from starvation.
