Drs. Robert Epstein BF Skinner with Pigeons Part 1

Psychologists Epstein and Skinner in a classic classroom film originally released in 1982 and dubbed best film of the year by the American Psychological Association. In sometimes stunning footage, the film shows that pigeons, with the right training, can behave in ways that appear to demonstrate advanced human phenomena: selfawareness, insight, problem solving, imitation, symbolic communication, and even the use of a memorandum. The film defends a behavioristic interpretation of cognitive phenomena.
