Full Blog Openning Skinners Box

Summary:
This book took a look at different and extreme cases of psychology in order to learn more about behavior an interactions. All tests involving cases sought out to understand behavior in humans and animals. It starts off from the case of conditioning a new born child’s mind and finishes off with ways to change or alter the adult mind such as lobotomy or medication. This books takes an in-depth look at the psychology of the mind with extreme tests and helps understand ourselves more



Discussion:
I enjoyed this book a lot and can see how understanding people and they way they think can help influence the field of CHI. Understanding the psychology of the user is one way to be able to design something more suitable for that person. I recommend this book to anyone and is as much an interesting read as it is an educational one that spans across different disciplines.
