Â Edward Thorndike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Lee Thorndike (August 31, 1874- August 9, 1949) was an American psychologist whose work on animal behaviour and the learning process led to the theory of connectionism.
The puzzle box experiments were motivated in part by Thorndike's dislike for statements that animals made use of extraordinary factulties such as insight in their problem solving: "In the first place, most of the books do not give us a psychology, but rather a eulogy of animals.
The Law of Effect states that people tend not to engage in behavior that doesn't result in consequences.

Although the treatment itself was still for the physical complaint, he knew that this work would not be complete until he found a treatment for those negative moods and emotions that were responsible for the breakdown in health in the first place.

Edward Lee Thorndike (August 31, 1874- August 9, 1949) was an American psychologist whose work on animal behaviour and the learning process led to the theory of connectionism.
It was eagerly seized on by researchers such as Edward L. Thorndike (who had been studying cats' abilities to escape from puzzle boxes).

Â BMJ No 7070 Human guinea pigs

Edward Mellanby remarked, ``the suggestion seems crazy.'' He referred the matter to Henry Dale, who replied that ``If it were merely a question of vaccinating them and bleeding them to test the effect of the vaccine, I doubt whether they should be given the privilege of a rather fictitious heroism.
In 1942 Mellanby had contacted his uncle, Edward Mellanby, secretary of the Medical Research Council, suggesting that his volunteers were prepared to allow themselves to be infected for typhus experiments.
For Mellanby the processes of democratising and modernising medicine were a threat to the individual freedoms of clinical researchers.

Â Psychology History

Edward L. Throndike's pioneer investigations in the fields of human and animal learning are among the most influential in the history of Psychology.
Edward Lee Thorndike was a son of a Methodist minister in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Thorndike's setup of the puzzle boxes is an example of instrumental conditioning: An animal makes some response, and if it is rewarded, the response is learned.

Â An introduction to Dr Edward Bach

Edward Bach was born at Moseley, near Birmingham, in 1886 and trained as a doctor in London.
The life and work of Dr Edward Bach has been written about extensively in several books.
The healing properties of the remedies were explained by Bach in terms of a philosophy of life that saw a person as much more than the outward physical body that is treated in conventional medicine.

Â Human Intelligence: Edward L. Thorndike

Thorndike and his students used objective measurements of intelligence on human subjects as early as 1903.
Thorndike's Law of Exercise continued this line of thought; a) Stimulus-response connections that are repeated are strengthened, and b) Stimulus -response connections that are not used are weakened.
Thorndike characterized the two most basic intelligences as Trial-and-Error and Stimulus-Response Association.

Â Edward Bach (www.whonamedit.com)

Edward Bach grew up in Bermingham, and as a boy is said to have shown a keen concern for human suffering.
He was especially influenced by the vitalist tradition in healing, philosophy based on a belief that the functions of a living organism are derived from a vital principle beyond mere physio-chemical forces with an emphasis on a stronger relationship to nature cures and herbal medicine.
As Bach became increasingly sensitized to the emotional and mental issues presented by his patients, he sought remedies that could act with greater depth and harmony than did the bacterial nosodes.

Â Ockhams Razor - 11/23/1997: Defending Edward Jenner

Assuming that Edward Jenner was naughty may be common, but it is nonetheless an error, based on a misunderstanding of medical practices in the late 18th century.
It was a point of ethics as much as historical fact, and it was about the great Edward Jenner, a fellow honoured for his ornithology rather than his work on the pox, something I got right.
Perhaps we could accuse Jenner of being wrong in subjecting a young boy to the infection of cowpox, but even that had been the subject of careful observation.

Â Classics in the History of Psychology -- Introduction to Thorndike (1911) by R. H. Wozniak

Between 1898 and 1901, Edward Lee Thorndike[1] published two major research monographs and several shorter articles that established the study of animal learning as a laboratory science.
In this work, Thorndike was also a methodological innovator, developing a general experimental technique that was to revolutionize the psychological study of animal behavior.
In the chapter on 'laws and hypotheses of behavior,' Thorndike first discussed 'effect' and 'exercise' as provisional laws of acquired behavior.

Edward Thorndike was born in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, and grew up in a succession of New England towns where his father served as a Methodist minister.
Thorndike made many early and significant contributions to the field of experimental animal psychology, successfully arguing that his findings had relevant implications for human psychology.
Continuing to focus on human learning, Thorndike became a pioneer in the application of psychological principles to areas such as the teaching of reading, language acquisition, and mental testing.

Â Crystal Herbs Bach Flower Remedies & the work of Dr Edward Bach

Here at Crystal Herbs we have been making Bach Flower remedies, according to the original instructions of Dr Edward Bach since the late 1980’s.
His simple and intuitive work showed us that by healing the emotional and mental aspects of ourselves which are out of balance, we can not only bring harmony to our mind and emotion, but also harmony to our physical self, and begin to reconnect consciously with our Soul or Higher Self.
One of the key understandings that Dr Bach gave humanity was of the interconnection of our Mind, Body and Soul.

Â Edward Jenner and Vaccination - Vaccination

In person, Edward Jenner was short and rather heavily built; his expression of face was pleasant with a touch of sadness.
To many of Jenner's contemporaries the view that vaccinia had at one time been a disease of human beings seemed unlikely; but we are now in a far better position to admit its probability than were those of Jenner's time.
It is true that at one time it was not clear what were the relationships of chickenpox and smallpox, of vaccinia and variola, of vaccinia and varioloid, of the various forms of pox in animals--cowpox, swinepox, horsepox or grease--either inter se or to human smallpox.

ach Flower Therapy was developed over 60 years ago by an English physican, Edward Bach, who wished it to serve as a simple, pure form of preventive health care.
Encyclopedia of Bach Flower Therapy - Mechthild Scheffer
It helps individuals to regain access to their spiritual healing forces -- thereby strengthening the immune system and supporting overall health -- and to deal more constructively with negative behavior patterns such as jealousy, impatience, timidity, and inappropriate guilt -- patterns that are perceived as a deeper cause of physical illness.

Â Wundt! - John Taylor Gatto

According to Thorndike, the aim of a teacher is to "produce and prevent certain responses," and the purpose of education is to promote "adjustment." In Elementary Principles of Education (1929), he urged the deconstruction of emphasis on "intellectual resources" for the young, advice that was largely taken.
But if you find yourself nodding in agreement that morons have no business with babies, you might want to consider that according to Thorndike’s fellow psychologist H.H. Goddard at Princeton, 83 percent of all Jews and 79 percent of all Italians were in the mental defective class.
An early ranking of school kids by intelligence would allow them to be separated into tracks for behavioral processing.

And when Edward's whacking increased in speed, making reaction to individual strokes impossible, Madeline tossed her head, her eyes wild, and while yelling shrilly, she rocked forward as if trying to outrun the blows.
Edward was very careful to disguise his lusty cries as sobs of distress and his gyrations as attempts to avoid her blows.
Edward spun her to the wall and she threw up her hands to brace herself against it as he grabbed her by the waist and thrust himself into her.
