How company policy is formed.

Physiatrics is a North American term for physiotherapy. Treatment that doesn't involve drugs or surgery.

I don't believe it was ever an actual experiment.

 

I concur, that's the trouble with posting late at night whilst under the influence

 

This story originated with the research of G.R. Stephenson. (Stephenson, G. R. (1967). Cultural acquisition of a specific learned response among rhesus monkeys. In: Starek, D., Schneider, R., and Kuhn, H. J. (eds.), Progress in Primatology, Stuttgart: Fischer, pp. 279-288.)
Stephenson (1967) trained adult male and female rhesus monkeys to avoid manipulating an object and then placed individual naïve animals in a cage with a trained individual of the same age and sex and the object in question. In one case, a trained male actually pulled his naïve partner away from the previously punished manipulandum during their period of interaction, whereas the other two trained males exhibited what were described as "threat facial expressions while in a fear posture" when a naïve animal approached the manipulandum. When placed alone in the cage with the novel object, naïve males that had been paired with trained males showed greatly reduced manipulation of the training object in comparison with controls. Unfortunately, training and testing were not carried out using a discrimination procedure so the nature of the transmitted information cannot be determined, but the data are of considerable interest.
His research inspired the story of five monkeys. Some believe the story is true, while others believed it's an exaggerated account of his research. True story or not, his published research with rhesus monkeys, in my opinion, makes the point.

Its complete garbage, based on fragments of various research.

 

Just another example of the internet propagating rubbish for the gullible.

 

Or someone with a sense of humour making up a story to amuse us (which it did thanks), lighten up man

She's currently working in physiatrics and studying the effects of head trauma.

Sorry wrong word there, the ruddy spell checker has struck again.

I'm niw bucking out of thus thread.

I call bullshit. Sociology is a 'soft' degree option. If anyone is capable of dissecting dead/live brains and interpreting the results thereof then they'd be studying brain surgery.

 

There's no way they'd waste even a dead brain on a sociology student.

Show me where on that page it mentions sociology students.

 

The experiments on that page were for medical research- it's commonly known that monkeys are used for this.

Sociology=pub studies,

or in 1980's Ulster Polytechnic jargon a "Micky Mouse" degree.

From an Engineering student's perspective.

Or, indeed per the BT adverts "oh! e's gone an got an 'ology"

I know I indicated I was bugging out but felt a little protection of a friend was needed. Just one of what she's been up to recently.

E........ Eisner is a Research Associate in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester UK. And has a whole bunch of letters after her name; and I know I've not typed which ones.

 

And on an earlier note, just in case people were wondering. I do not condone animal testing. And please can I rest in peace on this particular point.

In my Uni days there was a witty motto scribbled above the toilet roll holders in the loo,

it read,

'Sociology degrees - please take one'

 

I recall sociology being a load of waffle about sending poor deprived scum-bags on holiday to the Carribean to improve their self esteem. No dissection or anything like it.

No, THIS is company policy is formed…….

 

In the beginning there was the Plan.

And then came the Assumptions.

And the Assumptions were without form.

And the Plan was without substance.

And darkness was on the face of the Workers.

And they spoke among themselves, saying

"It is a crock of ****, and it stinks".

And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said

"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor thereof".

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying

"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none can abide by it".

And the Managers went unto their Directors saying

"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength".

And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying one to another

"It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong".

And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents, saying unto them

"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful".

And the Vice Presidents went unto President saying unto him

"This new Plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of this company, with powerful effects".

And the President looked upon the Plan and saw it was good.

And the Plan became Policy.
