My discovery that all mammals share a nonverbal mind was an amazing journey that took me over fifty exciting years. My original intent was to study rat behavior within the context of Hullian learning theory. Gradually I discovered that two kinds of errors had become standard parts of Hull's Trial Testing Procedures, the TTP for running rat: first, methodological error, second, conceptual errors. The TTP • They only motivated rats Homeostatically, with food or water deprivation; • They know rats retrace because their pre-reinforcement behavior is random. To stop the retracing they use nonretrace doors. • They only allowed the rat to run in one direction-from the start to the goal box. One of my first tasks was to design a new way to test or run rats in the maze, called the Loop Testing Procedure, LTP which was based on the physiology of Heterostasis, not Homeostasis The LTP • With the LTP the rat are never deprived nor reinforced homeostatically. • They are tested without nonretrace doors, i.e. they are allowed to retrace to their hearts content. • They are required to run the maze in both directions, in a loop, not a trial. The unique forms of behavior that had never been observed before are: • The first revolutionary form of behavior was extrapolation. While running the maze on the LTP the rats first conceived a model of the maze, and then used the knowledge encoded in the model to extrapolate. • The second revolutionary form of behavior was devious behavior. When an experimenter punishes rats for accomplishing their goal, they modify their behavior in the maze in several remarkably ingenious ways in an attempt to overcome the consequence of the punishment. You just have to see this behavior to believe it! The idea that all mammals have a nonverbal mind is paradigm changing for the field of psychology. Every year for many years several books have been published, often by philosophers, on mind, yet not one of them ever suggested that all mammals have a nonverbal mind. The facts, the anomalies, reported for the first time in this narrative are almost overwhelming, but if you will follow the behavior of the rats and mice, I can almost guarantee that yow will be convinced that all mammals have a nonverbal mind, one that is capable of creating ideas, executing plans, and obtaining knowledge from nature. We all share the same generic nonverbal mammalian mind that nature endowed us with during evolution. The human mind simply has an extra capacity – the power to speak and export its knowledge to its community. The revolutionary new behaviors I discovered can be easily viewed on the many graphs and figures that are an integral part of my book. There is finally scientific data to refute Plato’s idea that humans (or any mammal) cannot execute the god function. If a 90-day-old rat like Female three can do it, then most certainly a human with a much larger cortex can as well. Come with me on a journey into the nonverbal mind, the reader will not be disappointed. Please be sure to purchase the companion figure file titled: Heterostasis: The Wisdom of the Nonverbal Mind Book3: Figures and Tables
