The speaker discusses recent experiments on learning in laboratory animals which show that, to get the best results, the degree of pain or discomfort involved in providing an incentive must be delicately adjusted at a low intensity. He suggests that, with increasing knowledge, our dealings with children in schools or with delinquents in reformatories will becoma both better informed and more humane.
