Talk:Ludovico technique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • "After his capture and life sentence for murder..."

Alex is not sentenced to life. From page 61 of the 1972 Penguin Books paperback edition: Then there was the trial in the higher court with judges and a jury, and some very very nasty slovos indeed govoreeted in a very like solemn way, and then Guilty and my mum boohoohooing when they said Fourteen Years, O my brothers.

  • I was working from a social commentary / history programme that was talking about the movie and the era (in Britian) in which it was made. I'm not sure if the movie was a life sentence, or it didn't say. Be bold man, just change it next time (especially if the movie and book are the same) ;) cheers. Tiki God 11:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
When he's in prison for the first murder, he and some other cellmates beat up a new guy who comes on to Alex. And Alex bears the sole consequences for that, IIRC a 20 year sentence. After that, he's happy to sign up for the nice experimental two week rehab program without asking any questions. He doesn't end up liking it much though... Afalbrig 05:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I changed the classical conditioning to operant conditioning, as it was technically operant conditioning Alex was undergoing due to the fact that the behavior they were changing was voluntary, rather than a instinctual behavior. Kyle 18:26, 14 April 2008

[edit] Streetfighter

Is not Blanka from Street Fighter (film) "created" with this method? --Ar-ras 17:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mythbusters

I'm a big Mythbusters fan, and I've seen every episode, but I do not recall them ever attempting this experiment. The closest is the Chinese water torture. Am I wrong? Can anyone else remember or cite which episode this was for confirmation? --24.144.146.167 22:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Opposite of brainwashing

What is done to Alex is the opposite of brainwashing, the Ludovico technique is intentionally wrong.

The victim of torture does not loathe the silly pictures it is shown, but the people who torture. As soon as victim gets finds out the torturer´s intention, the victim starts to loathe what the torturer wants it to like. Effective brainwashing by negative feedback requires the torturer to confound the victim. On the other hand, the group brainwashing technique, the victim is being told exactly how to behave, works by making the victim feel well and accepted, as long as the victim in turn accepts the intended ideas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.207.244 (talk) 13:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Clockwork'71.jpg

Image:Clockwork'71.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
