Wonderful picture from 1950 relating to B.F Skinner's research into the theory that reward is more effective in getting people - or in this case pigeons - to perform tasks. The text accompanying the photo was as follows: In still another of Professor Skinner's exhibits, which demonstrates competition, the birds play a modified game of ping-pong.

Rallies sometimes go to three or four shots but most of the shots are "aces." The winner is rewarded with food after each shot. Psychology on Kindle
