Professional adversary of Dr. Henry A. Murray and his doctrine of Jungian humanism, the Psychological Labs operate under the contention that the simple mechanical methods of stimulus and response--successful in the study and control of lower organisms--may also be applied successfully to men. The teaching machines, in their manner of operation and in their intent to remove some of the human contact between teacher and student, definitely lie in the Cambridge Street camp...
