Talk:Ludovico technique

Untitled

• "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

Streetfighter

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

No. This is just pointless junk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.142.43.5 (talk) 17:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Where did it say the drugs caused out-of-body experiences?

Missed Cultural reference

I do believe a Bloom County comic strip referenced this technique, jokingly rehabilitating "Baghwan Bill" after his incidents with a cult by forcing him to watch reruns of "Leave it to Beaver" repeatedly, along with sleep-deprivation. Is this significant enough to mention? 67.170.253.166 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC).

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)

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)
