"Hey, I wonder if this is about the guy who ground up flatworms. Wow, he's still doing bad science??" We learned about him in our psychology research methods courses. So we were literally taught something is incorrect that is apparently still practiced in the field.
- coldtea 12y agoProbably missed the whole content of TFA, which is that his experiments were redone now, with possitive results... It's not like it's impossible to be taught BS (e.g. that "something us incorrect") and it later to be proven true after all...
- bitwize 12y agoLooks like you missed the contents of the Wikipedia article, which explains that unless hormones count as "memories", the flatworm experiments did not mean what McConnell thought they meant.
- coldtea 12y agoProbably missed TFA entirely. This is not about what McConnell thought, nor is the Wikipedia version the state of the art of that research.
