  • Summary

  • I am back with another episode and this week I pick up where I left off with discussing the book Beyond the Box: B.F. Skinner's Technology of Behavior from Laboratory to Life, 1950s-1960s. In this show I focus on the history of token economics in both schools and mental hospitals and how the behavior technology came out of experiments done with children and women with severe mental illness.

    I reference Alison Mcdowell's article on Blockchain, specially the section in her article that talks a bit about token economic programs in modern schools. Here is a video of teachers looking at their student's data on dashboards, I wonder if this is really the future we want for our children.
