The learner, from his remote, strapped-in position, pushes one of four switches to indicate which of the four answers he thinks is the right one. If he gets it right, nothing happens and you go on to the next one. If he gets it wrong, you push a switch that buzzes and gives him an electric shock. You start with 15 volts and increase the number of volts by 15 for each wrong answer. The object is to find the shock level at which you disobey the experimenter and refuse to pull the switch.
