Week 4 Opening Skinner's Box by Taylor Murphy https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/b0c1yaevc4ui Made with a lightning strike of genius en-us 2016-12-09 13:03:44 UTC 2016-12-09 15:29:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Week 4 Opening Skinner's Box by Lauren Slater taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/b0c1yaevc4ui/wish/142776353 2016-12-09 13:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/b0c1yaevc4ui/wish/142776353 "Very few of the respondents have the same account three years later. Their memories had shifted considerably, so the egg morphed I to meatloaf morphed into the beach, and the phone booth, Dali-like, melted and stretched its shape so it was a museum" (200). taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/b0c1yaevc4ui/wish/142777124 This quote was interesting to me because it shows just how fallible memory is. It made me think. What if some of our memories are more imaginative constructs than reality? Have dreams developed into reality? Often one can insert a good friend into a memory because they were usually around, even if they were not present. With that fact and also imagined future scenarios, is there really ever any lucid moment than the present as it ever passes?

In AP Art, to my understanding, each person follows a certain theme through their work, and I think I want to make mine psychology based--and this quote inspired a potential piece. Imagine a head tipping back slightly, the surrealistic shades of blue and silver dripping down through the inside of their skull and enlightening their eyes.

Experimental psychology, on the other hand, with its relentless pursuit of ethical questions about obedience, conformity, is all about doing good, and when we do good, when we act with honor, we have chance to experience dignity" (251). taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/b0c1yaevc4ui/wish/142779266 In Slater's conclusion of the book, she defines the difference between what we usually think of modern day psychologists--therapists--and reiterates the higher moral quest that each of her ten examples pursued. Finally these psychologists can be recognized for their achievements. So many of them are remembered for what appeared to be exposing the sins of human nature. But, as she addressed in the section on Darley and Latané's study on taking responsibility during emergencies, once we are educated then we are so much more likely to assume responsibility for the fallacies which we recognize.
