More like Donald Duck’s nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. Right down to the green, blue and red clothes. Of course, there are one or two notable differences. Unca Roy’s nephews don’t seem to have webbed feet and, unlike the Duck triplets, they’re wearing pants.
Nicely done, John and Scott! I learned of Pavlov’s experiments when I was in school. Sally Brown and Snoopy recreated the experiment in “It’s a Mystery, Charlie Brown” as a project for her science class.
The Stanford Prison Experiment was…poorly executed, to say the least. Less horrifying in a “humans act like WHAT?” fashion, and more what it says about research ethics, especially when the very small test group was primed to begin with for the specific behaviors that were desired. It also doesn’t help that the experimenters were visibly around, meaning that people were acting how there were expected (and in the case of the guards coached), instead of how they would necessarily naturally react.The other examples are both good, from everything I’ve read about them, however. The Milgram experiment…I have to agree on it being terrifying
My first thought when I saw the panel – before I read any words – was “It’s Huey, Dewey, and Louie.” ……The humor is spot-on with people hearing their ring tone and stopping all other activity to answer it. It sure seems that way.
ROFL – I actually did condition myself to a phone ring once. Most people don’t know this, but with land lines the ring of a phone was generated by a central ringer, and the phone rang at designated intervals, regardless of when the connection was actually made. Thus, often the connection was made, and it was a few seconds before the phone actually rang, making it possible to answer the phone, usually accidentally, before it rang.
In college I had a phone that made a (barely) audible “click” when the connection was made. I made a bet with my roommate that over the course of a year I could answer the phone more times before the phone range than after. I won, but with the result that I was strongly conditioned. The phone would click while three people in the room were talking, and I’d still hear it, and dive across the room. People thought I was nuts, but there was someone there.
It took about three years before I could respond normally to a phone ringing. At first, when a phone would ring, I would literally leap out of my chair, and couldn’t stop myself. To break it, I forced myself to listen to the phone ring at least three times before I answered.

Wonder if Roy’s brother or sister is anything like him? And if they will ever make an appearance?

At least it’s not the Stanley Milgram study on obedience. That was one of the most terrifying things I ever heard about.

Huey, Dewey and Louie!
I always wanted one of their Junior Woodchuck Guides. Even better than a smartphone!
