B.F. Skinner ——B.F. 史金納 台灣翻譯過 Beyond Freedom and Dignity (1971) and the novel Walden Two (1948). Bjork, Daniel. 1993. B. F. Skinner: A Life. New York: Basic Books. 思念的是 B F Skinner 的四本回憶錄。「失敗未必是錯誤，它可能只是在當時情況下所能做到的最好結果。真正的錯誤是停止嘗試。」真正的問題不在於機器是否會思考，而是人們是否會思考。給我一個孩子，我可以把他塑造成任何樣子。

我有逛書店利立讀的習慣

昨天王老師請我代查某本書第幾刷

從2019年出版 現在257刷

這本書我翻都沒翻過，今天讀其前言 思念的是 B F Skinner 的四本回憶錄

B.F. 史金納

斯金納箱

看海報

伊凡·巴甫洛夫和 B.F.（伯爾赫斯·弗雷德里克）·斯金納都為世界貢獻了豐富的行為主義知識。巴甫洛夫證明了動物如何學習對刺激的行為反應。史金納則證明動物可以學習到它們的行為會帶來期望的結果——操作性條件反射。他的史金納箱是一個隔音隔光的密室，裡面有一個反應桿。當被關在箱子裡的老鼠按下反應桿時，就會掉出一顆食物顆粒。史金納證明，老鼠的某些行為是可以被條件反射訓練的。 B.F. 史金納出生於1904年的今天。

名言

「失敗並不總是錯誤，它可能只是在當時情況下所能做到的最好結果。真正的錯誤是停止嘗試。」——B.F. 史金納

“教育就是當人們忘記所學知識時，仍然留存下來的東西。”

失敗未必是錯誤，它可能只是在當時情況下所能做到的最好結果。真正的錯誤是停止嘗試。

給我一個孩子，我可以把他塑造成任何樣子。

社會在個體最無助的時候就開始攻擊他。

物理學無法改變它所研究的世界的本質，任何行為科學也無法改變人類的本質，即使這兩門學科都產生了擁有強大力量來操控研究對象的技術。

真正的問題不在於機器是否會思考，而是人們是否會思考。

B.F. Skinner With His Skinner Box
View Poster

Both Ivan Pavlov and B.F. (Burrhus Frederick) Skinner taught the world a great deal about behaviorism. Pavlov demonstrated how animals learned a behavioral response to stimuli. Skinner showed that animals could learn that their actions would bring a desired response — operant conditioning. His Skinner box was a sound- and light-proof chamber with a response lever. When the rat that was kept in the box pressed the lever, a food pellet was released. Skinner showed that an aspect of the rat's behavior could be conditioned. B.F. Skinner was born on this date in 1904.

Quote

"A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." — B.F. Skinner

"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."

"A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying."

"Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything."

"Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless."

"Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters."

"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do."



我大概看過他的自傳--他動過當作家之念頭 所以寫起自己洋洋灑灑---所以可以和 Herbert Simon 談 所謂學派
