    A lot of (usually reliable) sources write something like "Skinner would have thought[...]" and then put something directly contrary to what one of his books said. I think it's the implications on free will that scare people into discrediting his theory.

    Skinner was right about "classical cognitive science," which assumes that the mind is orchestrated by a central planner and executed by component slave systems. However, this is not true of the new cognitive science - the so-called "second generation cognitive science" of connectionism and embodied cognition, which views the mind as a dynamic interaction between brains, bodies, and environments. On this view, complex behavior is an emergent property of simple actions and reactions.

    Skinner inspired Clockwork Orange as well...I remember Kubrick's saying that "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" is one of the most dangerous books ever. Now, Skinner's book was released the same year as the movie, but still, Kubrick was aware of Skinner's job.

      Unfortunately Kubrick's Clockwork Orange has nothing to do with Skinnerian psychology, Operant Conditioning, it is about Pavlovian, respondent conditioning! At the issuing of the book Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew said Skinner was the most dangerous man in the USA!

    To the extent that everything in nature functions deterministically, so does the brain.
    It depends on what you mean by "ultimate causes." Genes aren't the *direct* causes of behavior, but they constrain the range of potential behaviors. The idea of emergent properties is that you have different levels of analysis, each of which arises from interactions of other ones. It's a kind of nonreductive physicalism - complex systems can't be understood just by reducing them to their simplest parts.

    By "inter-related components" are your "individual, interrelated components" inter-individual differences/similarities, etc? - through the liquid/solid analogy, you propose "emergent properties" as a function of "increased" complexity - along what dimension do you consider this "increase"? Are there lower level cognitive "building-blocks" that arrange into more complex "dynamics" that are "interaction-dominant" i.e. contingency specific? Cognitive science represents the evolution of phrenology

  • @ArcadianGenesis
    @ArcadianGenesis 11 лет назад

    Emergent properties are generated from interaction-dominant dynamics of individual, interrelated components. They exist at a particular level of complexity, but could not exist at lower levels of complexity. Classic examples are liquidity and solidity. Individual molecules can't be liquid or solid, but large collections of molecules can be. The dynamical movement in cognitive science views cognition the same way.

    30 years later and, as an Applied Behavior Analysis practitioner and someone who highly respects the field of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I am conflicted. I think Skinner was brilliant but could not predict the future of either fields entirely. Currently, Behavior Analysis doesn't have the impact and reach that I think he had hoped for the world, which is sad-because he was so very right in saying it could save the world. However, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is not without its merits and I think both fields working together could have a positive impact on many lives. I think his hope for the wold to latch onto Behavior Analysis and let all other sub-fields of cognitive psychology go was a bit too idealistic for the world right now.

      What are you talking about business strategists and policy wonks, PR and intelligence firms are very keen on behavioral analysis. It's one of the pillars of social control. I don't know about saving the world 😂 just look at studies on consumer behavior which have saved the military industrial World order and investors from a few recessions by keeping the ravenous socioeconomic metabolism of the American consumer base hungry and growing for value-added manufactured goods and blood soaked commodities.

      Empirical data from every field of science including the field Skinner worked in is overwhelmingly arriving at the conclusion that man cannot think or be completely conscious to the point where "Free Will" is not even remotely possible in this universe.
      Your conclusion and inference, given your comment, must come from a very subjective and unreal premise/basis, I suspect that to be the case. You don't only examine the accuracy of the empirical data at hand. You must also examine your premise/basis which the data is plugged into.
      What is your premise/basis anyway? Examine it, mention it, we might learn from you or you might learn from us or we both learn something. There is nothing wrong about being wrong.

    • @mariopugl
      @mariopugl Год назад

      ​@@helenmohiam944 I don't understand if your comment is genuine or else.
      1) without specific references to the empirical data or the consensus among scientists, it is challenging to assess the validity of your claim.
      2) the nature of consciousness and free will is still a subject of debate and ongoing research in philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and other fields. Different theories and perspectives exist regarding the processes and mechanisms underlying human thinking, but there is a general consensus that humans have the ability to engage in cognitive thought processes.
      3) there is no universally accepted consensus on the existence or non-existence of free will as the question of free will goes beyond empirical evidence and delves into philosophical, ethical, and metaphysical dimensions.
      4) even though some of Skinners principles have found applications, there is no behavior modification technique that can be universally considered valid or applicable to all individuals and situations. The effectiveness of behavior modification techniques depends on various factors, including the specific behavior being targeted, the individual's characteristics and circumstances, and the context in which the behavior occurs.
