There was a researcher‚ James Fallon‚ that was very interested in the topic of nature versus nurture and so he went to prisons and started testing some brains‚ specifically the brains of serial killers. He wanted to see what the brain of serial killers looked like and how they differed from someone who is an average human. "People with low activity [in the orbital cortex]

Summary This experiment aimed to determine the reaction time of the test participant and using the subtractive method identify the selection time and identification time of the participant. The experiments had one participant who participated in a total of 6 experiments; two experiments required a simple reaction with a single stimulus and 4 experiments that required a more complicated reaction.

The experiments Milgram performed gained many different reactions from people. Two authors that wrote their thoughts on the experiments done by Milgram are Diana Baumrind and Richard Herrnstein. Diana Baumrind‚ who wrote the “Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments on Obedience”‚ believes that the experiments Milgram conducted were not necessary and

Diana Baumrind‚ a credited psychologist wrote‚ "Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments on Obedience‚" while working at the Institute of Human Development at the University of California. In her review‚ Baumrind discusses phenomena which occurred in Milgram’s Obedience Experiment. She briefly presents a case against Milgram by questioning the ethicality of Milgram’s experiment. In addition‚ Baumrind provides excerpts of Milgram’s own observations from which she deducts that Milgram seems unemotionally

Throughout the process‚ subjects are exposed to various signs that show them the intensity of their act (effects on the victim and intensity of the shocks)‚ and are told that they are allowed to leave whenever. Moreover‚ if the subjects were not misled and were told the truth‚ this experiment would not have taken place. Milgram solicits 40 males from various ages and

Stanley Milgram bases his experiment on three people: a learner‚ teacher‚ and experimenter. The experimenter is simply an overseer of the experiment‚ and is concerned with the outcome of punishing the learner. The teacher‚ who is the subject of the experiment‚ is made to believe the electrical shocks are real; he is

“The experiment would require a “teacher” and a “learner.” (Nevid & Rathus‚ P. 244). The tests showed that if the learner made an error; a very painful shock would be transferred to their body from the teacher. The learners obviously did not like the experiment showing signs of pain and discomfort. Most of the teachers would take delight in the suffering of the learners and would continue the experiment knowing the pain and torment the learner would go
