Are they born to accept only adult ducks as parents? Scientists once
thought so until certain contrary observations led them to the concept of imprinting, a link between
instinct and learning. A good depiction of Lorenz’ theory.
Biofeedback: Medical Applications of Psycho-physiologic Self-Regulation (1987). Insight Media,
54 minutes
This program reviews treatment procedures from both the patient’s and the therapist’s
perspectives. It describes the rationale for the self-regulation process, presenting cases involving
self-regulation training for hypertension, migraine, chronic back pain, anxiety, and post-traumatic
rehabilitation.
Child Management (1986). Insight Media, 20 minutes
Offers ideas on managing children’s behavior using learning theory principles of reinforcement.
Clarifies the difference between punishment and discipline and explains when each is appropriate.
Presentation is done with humor and sensitivity. A good reinforcer for lectures on operant
conditioning.
A Conversation with B. F. Skinner (1972). (CRM) MCGH, 23 minutes
An interview conducted by Elizabeth Hall of Psychology Today. Skinner traces the origin and basic
principles of behaviorism, including his views on control, punishment, and freedom. He focuses on
the value of a culture designed by behaviorists, but also answers the typical criticisms, “Who will
keep the controllers honest?” and “What will happen to creativity in a culture controlled by
operant conditioning?” Skinner also discusses some of the problems of implementing behavior
modification systems. Skinner’s fascination (his for his science and ours for him) is timeless.
Learning (1990). Insight Media, 30 minutes
125
PSYCHOLOGY AND LIFE
Explains the fundamental processes of classical and operant conditioning and includes
information on taste aversion. Includes an interview with B. F. Skinner and a segment on the use of
behavior modification with hyperactive children.
Observational Learning (1987). HARR, 23 minutes
Explores modeling and social learning theory and includes a demonstration of the Bandura and
Walters “Bobo Doll” experiment. Effects of TV violence on aggression in children are discussed. An
excellent film.
Pavlov’s Experiment: The Conditioned Reflex (1976). CORT, 9 minutes
This film explains the difference between conditioned and unconditioned reflexes, and outlines
Pavlov’s contribution to the study of the physiology of higher nerve activity in the brain. Pavlov’s
famous experiment is realistically re-created to illustrate classical conditioning. The preciseness
and repetition of a scientific experiment with a living organism are graphically apparent. A quick
and excellent introduction to classical conditioning.
The Power of Positive Reinforcement (1978). ITJ (CRM), 28 minutes
Illustrates how behavior-modification programs that emphasize positive reinforcement have
increased organizations’ productivity, savings, and employee satisfaction. Shows implementation
of such programs in a division of 3M Company, Valley Fair Amusement Park, and the Minnesota
Vikings football team. This film is useful because it shows real-world applications of operant
conditioning principles.
A Question of Learning (1982). FI, 60 minutes
Mingles dramatization of renowned experiments in behavioral studies with location footage to
examine how naturalists and scientists have uncovered the secrets of animal behavior. Recreates
Pavlov’s discovery of the conditioned reflex, Thorndike’s experiments with chicks, and Skinner’s
famed work at Harvard during the 1930s.
Skinner and Behavior Change: Research, Practice and Promise (1979). REPR, 45 minutes
The development of modern behaviorism is examined. Skinner is interviewed on theory, uses, and
ethical issues. Examples of the uses of behavior modification are shown.
A World of Difference: B. F. Skinner and the Good Life, Parts 1 and 2 (1979). TLF, 53 minutes
Traces the development of behaviorism and B. F. Skinner’s application of the theory in raising his
infant daughter in an environmentally controlled box, as well as his early experiments with
pigeons. Includes a visit by Skinner and his family to Twin Oaks, the rural Virginia commune that
attempts to live according to the principles in Walden Two. Commune members describe their
successes, failures, and modifications of Skinner’s model, emphasizing their difficulties with sex
and economic roles. Produced for the NOVA series.
Keynote Address: B. F. Skinner’s Lifetime Scientific Contribution Remarks (1990). American
Psychological Association, 19 minutes
Skinner reviews the path psychology has taken from early introspective methods to modern day
methods including natural selection and operant conditioning.
