Here's an interesting experiment on behavior under the influence of conditional reflex
and tradition.
In the cage with 5 monkeys a banana is placed on the top of the cage, which can be reached with the help of wooden crates.
When the first monkey begins to climb to catch the banana, the experimenters spray the cold water with the other four monkeys. Repetitions of this behavior create conditional (Pavlov's) reflexes for the apes that they will experience an unpleasant cold shock each time one of them reach the banana at the top of the cage.

Therefore, whenever a monkey attempts to reach the banana, he will be violently prevented from the other four. Soon, none of them will try to reach "forbidden fruit"
When one of the 5 monkeys replaces a new monkey, he will (without having a conditional reflex) go to bananas and be (not gently) prevented by the four "old" monkeys.Thus, the new majmumm will learn that bananas should not be taken because otherwise it will be physically attacked. Thus, the "old" monkeys transferred the conditional reflex to the new one.
When another monkey from the original setting is replaced with a new one, punishing his attempts to reach the banana will involve not only 3 old monkeys, but also the one who entered the cage as the first substitute and who received the conditional reflex indirectly.
And so this behavior pattern will be passed on to all new monkeys in the cage.Even when the last five-year-old monkey was replaced by water, the monkeys will attack the newcomer in a cage that goes to the banana.They do not know why it is forbidden to take a banana, nor knowing why it is necessary to beat the one who tries it, but blindly observe these rules.
Why?
Because in the cage of memory there are such rules.
NARAVOUČENIJE:
Do not re-examine the tradition: adhere to the behavior of the majority because otherwise you will get it on your head.
