Another area of potential development in computer applications is the attitudechanging machine.Dr. Bertram Raven in the Psychology Department at the University of California at YOS Angeles, is in the process of building a computer-based device for changing attitudes. ** This device will work on the principle that students' attitudes can be changed by using the Socratic Effectively method of asking for Appropriate series of leading questions logically designed to right the balance between Appropriate attitudes and those deemed less acceptable.For instance, after first deterministic mining a student's constellation of attitudes through Appropriate testing procedures, the machine would calculate Which attitudes are out of phase And which of these are amenable to change. If the student was opposed to foreign trade, for example, and a Favorable disposition were sought, the machine would select to Appropriate series of statements and questions organized to right the imbalance in the student's attitudes.
