> Chomsky the Chicken???? LOL! I'm so so so glad I am not at a research school.
Well I got to name her myself - it was my little dig at Skinner... We weren't allowed to call them McNugget or anything like that (on ethical grounds) and there were too many henrietta's. We get lots of research funding to teach cows how to milk themselves and figure out how to attract possums to certain frequencies of sound so that we can trap them etc etc. So the behaviourists thrive after all (whereas most psychologists just don't find behaviourism very reinforcing any more).
IMHO they should go join the biologists and leave psychology alone...
