This program explores alternative approaches and explanations
of learning, including latent learning, learning sets, insight learning, ethology, social
learning, and neuroscience. The program emphasizes the recent move towards a cognitive
theory of learning and examines research in this area. The program includes archival film
featuring B. F. Skinner and Dr. Robert Epstein, who demonstrated apparent
"insight" learning in pigeons using behaviorist techniques. Skinner, speaking
just before his death, claims that reinforcement rather than higher mental processes is at
work in learning. The cognitive behaviorists think differently! (57 minutes, color)
