摘要
本说明讨论的是 B. F. 斯金纳与比利时心理学家阿尔伯特-米科特(Albert Michotte)在斯金纳于 1951 年访问斯德哥尔摩第十三届国际心理学大会之前显然未曾发表的通信。斯金纳的信是用法文写的,目的是安排参观米科特在比利时鲁汶(当时称卢万)的实验室,但最终没有成行,不过他们很有可能在斯德哥尔摩见过面。没有关于他们可能进行的谈话主题的记录,不过有一种可能的猜测是关于因果关系的讨论,因为斯金纳和米休特在 20 世纪 40 年代都出版过与这一主题有关的著作,即米休特的《因果关系的感知》(La Perception de la Causalité)和斯金纳的《鸽子的迷信》(Superstition in the pigeon)。该说明还讨论了斯金纳对第十三届大会的访问如何影响了欧洲和日本行为实验分析的发展。
Meeting of minds: Skinner and Michotte at the International Congress of Psychology, Stockholm, 1951.
This note discusses the apparently unpublished correspondence between B. F. Skinner and the Belgian psychologist Albert Michotte, preceding Skinner's visit to the Thirteenth International Congress of Psychology in Stockholm in 1951. Skinner's letters, written in French, were intended to arrange a visit to Michotte's laboratory in Leuven (then called Louvain) in Belgium, which in the end never took place, although it seems highly likely that they met in Stockholm. There is no record of the topic of the conversations they may have had, although one possible speculation concerns discussions of causality, as both Skinner and Michotte had published work relating to this topic in the 1940s, Michotte's La Perception de la Causalité and Skinner's Superstition in the pigeon. The note also discusses the way in which Skinner's visit to the Thirteenth Congress influenced the development of the experimental analysis of behavior in both Europe and Japan.
