During the years 1958-1962, the final years of support by the National Science Foundation for B. F. Skinner's Pigeon Lab in Memorial Hall at Harvard University, 20 or so pigeon experiments (plus some with other organisms) ran concurrently 7 days a week. The research style emphasized experimental analyses, exploratory procedures, and the parametric exploration of variables. This reminiscence describes some features of the laboratory, the context within which it operated, and the activities of some of those who participated in it.
在1958年至1962年期间,即美国国家科学基金会对哈佛大学纪念堂里B. F. 斯金纳的鸽子实验室提供支持的最后几年,大约20项鸽子实验(还有一些涉及其他生物的实验)每周7天同时进行。研究风格强调实验分析、探索性程序以及对变量的参数探索。这篇回忆录描述了该实验室的一些特点、其运作的背景以及一些参与其中的人员的活动。
