| An Analysis of the Forms of Animal Learning - Parts 1-4 More on DVD Version More on VHS Version | C 1940 The University of Rochester Demonstrates in four parts, the four forms of learning.

The second learning form, problem solving, is exhibited in two examples: 1) a cat learns to pull a string in order to drag a dish into position for eating. Several unattached strings are also presented to cat. In second scenaroi, cat never learns to distinguish between attached and unattached string, an example of "positional learning". 2) the cat learns to push a a ball into a hopper in order to open a door exposing food. The third learning form, discriminative learning, is shown in film 3, as three examples: 1) the cat learns to select the door on which as triangle has been painted and 2) the cat learns to select the brighter of two doors before pressing a pedal which releases the obstruction to the food reward. 3) the cat learns to choose a door behind which a sounding device has been placed. The fourth learning example , compound learning, is illustrated in two sessions 1) the cat learns to press two pedals alternately in order to open the food troughs. 2) The cat learns to pull a string releasing a ball which is pushed into a hopper exposing food.

| York: The Voice of Freedom More on DVD Version | York: The Voice of Freedom is not a documentary, it is a dramatic work of art. As such, it starts with the facts of York's life and tries to explain through music and drama what that life meant. A work of history deals strictly with the facts; a work of art must seek for the truth that lives within those facts: how did the obedient slave come to understand that equality is not a gift to be passively accepted but a right to be seized and passed on to one's children? York: The Voice of Freedom hopefully shines some small light upon the dark facts surrounding the hundreds of thousands who were forced into lives of servitude. The stories of most of those victims have been lost, their voices silenced. York: The Voice of Freedom is a song of hope that resurrects the story of one man: York, the slave who traveled to the end of the earth and came back to find he still had ahead of him a long road to freedom. YORK: The Voice of Freedom Music by Bruce Trinkley Words by Jason Charnesky Videotaped at Penn State's Playhouse Theatre, November 17, 2002, by Penn State Public Broadcasting, this version was produced by Jerry Sawyer and directed for television by Jeffrey Hughes. 2dvd set Buy Now from Penn State University Media Sales! |

| The ACE Study Parts 1 & 2 More on DVD Version More on VHS Version | Part I This video, intended for general audiences and policymakers, discusses the origins and findings of the largest-scale study to date of the incidence and effects of childhood trauma, known as the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study. According to data collected from the over 17,000 Kaiser patients in this ongoing retrospective and prospective study, adverse childhood experiences, though well concealed, are unexpectedly common, have a profound negative effect on adult health and well-being a half century later, and are a prime determinant of adult health status in the United States. Part II This video describes the ACE Study's implications for the healthcare professions: that all patients should be routinely screened for adverse childhood experiences; that a childhood trauma history may be very relevant to both serious illness and vague somatic complaints; and that appropriate approaches to treatment must include dealing with childhood trauma. Additional data suggest that evaluating patients for ACEs is also cost-effective. |
