“…Similarly, resources on the Skinner–Chomsky debate over language and freedom set the occasion to examine and discuss how the debate has been interpreted in different fields of psychology over time (Palmer, 2006; Virués‐Ortega, 2006). Teaching and learning the history of behavior analysis allows the field to examine its own integrity, explains why history matters, and advances the knowledge and research contributions of individuals with marginalized identities, among other functions detailed by Morris (2022).…”

The book Teaching Machines: The History of Personalized Learning by Audrey Watters (2021) is of interest to the readers of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior because the roots of teaching machines and programmed instruction are in the experimental analysis of behavior. Furthermore, the book addresses use‐inspired basic research in education, one of our country's most pressing problems. The review begins with an introduction, followed by an overview of the book chapters, extending the historical, cultural, and behavior‐analytic context presented by Watters. Particular emphasis is placed on the work of two not‐so‐well‐known researchers in behavior analysis, Susan Meyer Markle (1928–2008) and Benjamin Wyckoff (1922–2007). The review continues with an assessment of the audience for the book and its contributions to behavior analysis and some perspectives. An overarching theme throughout the review is the importance of learning and teaching the history of behavior analysis.

“…In modelling the HNA, Pavlov highlighted the dynamic and largely plastic nature of brain functioning, as well as the functional nature of some long-term behavioural disorders in dogs (Derouesné, 2021). Despite the fact that in 1934, in an article in Imago, Schilder sharply criticized Pavlov's HNA theory, his teachings have been widely used both in scientific research and in cynology (Morris, 2022). A link has been established between the type of HNA, certain biochemical parameters, and drug responsiveness (Netter, 2018).…”

The relevance of the study is due to the current lack of data on cortical mechanisms of protein metabolism regulation in dogs, which is important to consider when developing methods of corrective action on metabolism. The aim of the study was to determine the peculiarities of protein metabolism in dogs with different types of higher nervous activity, and to establish the relationship between the main characteristics of nervous processes and indicators of protein metabolism in the blood. The leading method in the study of this issue was a new method for determining the typological features of the nervous system in dogs, and the obtained scores of strength, balance, and mobility of nervous processes helped to identify the degree of their influence on protein metabolism. A significant effect of short-term nutritional deprivation on the content of certain indicators of protein metabolism in the blood of dogs, depending on their temperament, was established. Under the action of the stimulus during the day, a decrease in the level of albumin and changes in the ratio of globulins were observed in the blood of dogs, in particular, an increase in the relative content of α- and β-globulins and a decrease in γ-globulins. It was determined that the type of higher nervous activity has a significant effect on the content of total protein, albumin, globulins, β-globulins, γ-globulins and the value of the albumin-globulin ratio (F=3.02-14.6>FU=2.90; P<0.05-0.001) in the blood plasma of dogs. A direct relationship between the strength of nervous processes and the content of total protein and albumin, γ-globulins (r=0.62-0.73; P<0.01) and an inverse relationship between the content of αand β-globulins (r=-0.51-0.56; P<0.01) was found three days after the onset of short-term nutritional deprivation. The balance of nervous processes was inversely related to the content of β-globulins (r=-0.44; P<0.05). The fundamental knowledge gained is of practical value for the development of new, modern methods of metabolic correction taking into account the temperament of animals

“…Based on a symposium at the 2018 meeting of the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI; E. K. Morris, 2018), the December 2022 issue of Perspectives on Behavior Science ( PoBS )—ABAI's house journal—published a special section on teaching the history of behavior analysis.…”

“…The special section of PoBS urged readers to promote the history of behavior analysis by giving it away. The exemplars were an article on teaching its history in general, accompanied by an abbreviated syllabus (E. K. Morris, 2022b), and three articles on embedding history in courses on the field's subdisciplines for its conceptual foundations (Moore, 2022), basic research (Lattal, 2022), and applied research (C.…”
