Re: NEW ILLUSION CONNECTIONS:

Hi Ron,
Could you explain what I need to do with this illusion?  Do I stare at the center of the figure, stare at the blue (no pun intended) background?  My children keep asking, what are you looking for Now I know why it's called an illusion (he he)

And where is H.M. today?

[Jim Matiya]

I hope everyone had a few days of well-deserved rest and relaxation! 
The following article is about H.M. who is often mentioned in many textbooks in the memory chapter.  He had this rather interesting operation in 1953. You might find the update interesting.

Anosmia and a tipster. Did you know that?

[Jim Matiya]

This article about anosmia opens with a vignette about Karl Wuensch, a tipster!! Gosh, I just about spilled my coffee when I saw his name in the opening paragraph!   I read what Karl wrote to TIPS about anosmia when my classes are going over Sensation and Perception.

RE: NY Times Letter

[Jim Matiya]

This thread reminds me of a video I somethimes use in class. In the video, Phil Zimbardo (past president of APA, an outstanding and engaging teacher, winner of several teaching wards at Stanford) is discussing the social psychology and social pressure using a clip from Candid Camera.  (I will also say, I am totally biased.  I think Zimbardo is one of the most interesting people and charismatic friends I have.) Anyway, even as the video is playing even my students are laughing putloud at the sequence of events.  But, sitting in the seminar with Zimbardo is one of his students, his arm supporting his head as he sits there seemingly bored to death, not laughing, just like, "who cares."
I agree with Rod, sometimes we can jump-up on tables, yell, and act out our role as a teacher but students have to buy into it as well, and contribute to the dance of teacher and student.

Re: video

[Jim Matiya]

I was not going to say anything...but...
Several years ago, my students wrote to the Gardners about Washoe.
Every year I pullout a folder from my desk with photos that precede the video on "Can Chimps Talk?"  In the folder are photos from the Gardners.  I have 3 photos of Washoe: one when she was a baby, one of her with Betrice Gardner imitating her signing, and one of Washoe as an adult!  She is huge!! 
The Gardners were very gracious ....

Re: Going out to the High School teachers on the list

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Nancy and the Tipster crowd,
I teach for the Illinois Virtual High School. It is sponsored by the state and is run by the Illinois State Board of Education.
Last year we had about 800 students enrolled. We offer about 50 courses for the high school student. 

This summer, I taught psychology to 11 students and in the Fall I have 19 students so far (registrations ends (/15).

We give an advisory grade and the school gives the final grade, though most of the time the school will give the advisory grade.

RE: Sigmund Freud Action Figure

[Jim Matiya]

Well, to continue this action figure thread,
Because of this thread...I saw a bobble-head Freud, about 8 inches tall, it was 7.95. So, I had to buy it! Imagine, I bought it in a store and not on the internet...what a concept!!! :)

colorful brains

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Tipsters,
I made brains a few years ago using the recipe thatcame with the mold.  It was kind of pink and not very tasty. I would prefer a cherry brain without the pits please.

Hi Jeff, 
That certainly is a short amount of time.
I would develop a lecture around the decades and changes that accompany the dynamics of raising a child and the psychological needs of the adults and the children.

Re: moving circles illusion

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Natalie,
For whatever reasons, i seem to know that Baingio Pinna is credited with this illusion.  From Discover magazine"Vision researchers Baingio Pinna and Gavin Brelstaff theorize that illusory rotation arises from the brain's strategy of making certain neurons responsible for detecting both the orientation and the direction of movement of visual lines and curves. 
Neurons in the visual cortex of the brain are organized into subgroups, each of which responds best to lines oriented at a specific angle. Neurons that "prefer" the particular angle of an object viewed at any given moment are more active than those preferring other orientations. A subgroup of visual neurons gets most excited when a line with a preferred orientation is in motion and the direction of that motion is at a right angle to the line's orientation. 
Just as the brain determines the orientation of objects by "looking" at which groups of orientation-selective neurons are active, it also assesses the direction of motion of objects by the activity of those same nerve cells. This doubling up of orientation and motion detection works great if a line is moving at right angles to its orientation, but if the line is moving in any other direction, the brain gets confused."

HI,
I want to say this is in the Rathus text, but my memory is being reconstructed as we speak... anyway, I thought I read in his book that the term, "coffeebreak" comes from Watson. We could Rathus where he got that information.but the e-mail address I have is probably out of date...

Hi Traci,
It sort of reminds me of going to amusement parks, it allows people to be  risk-takers and taking chances in a safe environment.

Exporatorium

[Jim Matiya]

Hi,
I need a little. okay Paul Smith according to you I need more than a little, but anyway!! ;)
I always use the memory exhibit at the exploratorium (www.exploratorium.edu/memory/ ) the exhibit is described as having the biological, psychological, and cultural aspects of memory. It's an extremely well-done site. BUT, my students always seem to have problem filtering out the info on the psychological and cultural aspects of memory.  
I simply ask them to write a paragraph summary of each of the aspects.  The results are awful. The information is there, I can read it, but it just seems to float through them.

I need some teaching tips on how to use this site better. Any ideas?

jim

Re: Congratulations, Jim!

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the kind words. I mentioned at the ceremony in Toronto how humble the award makes me feel, and I continue to believe it.
It's people like you--Paul Smith,  Beth Benoit, Pat Mattimore, David Myers, Phil Zimbardo, Bill Addison,  Pam Hannah, and Suzy Shapiro and many others on TIPS who have provided me with many different and influential models of teaching, philosophy, and teaching styles. Your friendship, leadership, and tolerance mean so much to me. Thank you.
I plan to retire next year. I went into teaching for all the right reasons. My growth as a teacher and as a person continues as I continue to teach. My only regret is that I wish my relationship with some of the teachers in psychology could have more constructive. There are some people, despite my contributions, continue to dislike me for and cannot let the past stay in the past.  Their rejection of me has led to some goals I can never obtain, no matter what I do.  
More importantly, it has been very good to have friends  like you. I truly appreciate your comments, your divergent views, your humor, and your support.  You (and the others) have given me more than I can I ever express. 
Teaching is truly a wonderful profession. You all have taught me so much. Teaching high school psychology can be a very lonely avocation. Many times we are the only person teaching the course in the school. Many times we fail to realize that teaching is a reciprocal relationship between us and our students.  I thank you for what you have taught me
Jim

Re: HELP! Need demos/activities for language lecture

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Annette,
Using your word-processing program, print out a set of "wing-ding" symbols. These symbols become the new alphabet! Each of the wing-dings correspond to a letter of the alphabet.
Duplicate the wing-dings for the class.
Take a simple children's book and duplicate the story for the students.  Then have them "translate" the storybook English into wing-dingish??? It is very hard and very instructual!!

Language activities

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Everyone,
Annette Taylor wanted some activities  for language. This isn't exactly an activity,
but it is relevant to the topic of language...
Go to www.georgetown.edu/cball/animals and see what people around the world call the different sounds of animals. Pretty fascinating!

RE: Language activities

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Carol in Tipsterville,
Yep, the activity is super! It's hard to find very good activities but the wingdings and learning a language really drives it home! I tried it along with the students the first time I used it, and found it very frustrating!
Many advanced placement people use a similar activity using a storybook from the 1950s.

>I used the wingdings activity in class the other day--I printed out the chapter study guide I supply in wingdings and told the students to figure it out. After their initial shock and exclamations of dismay, we talked about aphasia, alexia, dyslexia, learning to read and write as a child, and so forth (I had actually gone over much of that before I handed out the sham study guides). Then when they had sufficiently puzzled over the study guides, I gave them the real one (in Arial). They were relieved and the point was made. Thanks for a great suggestion!

Speaking of Skinner's Baby Box, in case you are interested, Skinner donated it to Twin Oaks in Virginia.

RE: Matiya's Psych. Fair

[Jim Matiya]

Dear Beth and everyone in Tipsville, 
Thank you so much. You are right. I am retiring next year... I do plan to have a Psychology Fair this year and it will probably be the last one. I do have several copies of the Psych Fair book, if anyone wants one...I usually give away Beth's books to students who have done well during the school term.  Why not give a book to a person who wins the Award for the person with the Most Questions?? 
Why not give a book to a person who wins the "The Carl Rogers award (for the student who gave the most UCPR (unconditional positive regard) to classmates)"  or  "Best use of hammer, anvil and stirrups - (student who displays excellent listening skills)"
I also plan to have one hell of a garage sale of all I have accumulated over the years, but that is next year.
I have never met Beth Benoit. And like many of you , I have met her through our correspondence and understand her devotion to teaching.
Beth, I am so humbled by your comments.  I really think that TIPS and PSYCHNEWS have absolutely amounted to the  greatest change in my career as a teacher. There are so many people who ahve helped me be a better teacher! Many of you have been the greatest and best resource for me and my students.  In the past, I would "hunt" for articles and people, now, I just have to  e-mail people.  For example, a few weeks ago my students got through doing a project involving the history and well-known experiments and ideas in Psychology.  So, why not mail Howard Gardner, David Myers, David Rosenhan, and  Linda Bartoshuk?  I can't tell you how nervous I was opening their return letters!!! It was wonderful 
Beth, you have donated so many books, ancillaries, transparencies, and so much more.  I am forever thankful for all you have done. My students are better  because  now they have resources at home--textbooks--that can help them.
I am sorry if this sounds so mushy, but, unless one is a high school teacher, you may not understand the lonely journey of teaching a psychology course with little or no resources. So finding a resource, such as Beth, a person to communicate your frustrations and a person willing to help is like a gift. Beth you are that gift...

RE: Put the Blame on Name

Okay I work with with a woman---this is first hand--no pun intended-named Peg Seamen. Every year when I hand out the local "yellow pages on therapists," a student always notices that a Seamen is a sex therapist---yep, Peg's husband.
Sorry, I just got back from Springbreak...the brain is not not completely engaged.

royalty free pictures or photos

[Jim Matiya]

Hi everyone,
I am developing some materials for a couple of textbooks. I need any and all royalty free photos or pictures related to psych. Any ideas? 
For example, for Skinners' article published in Ladies Home Journal in 1945, would I write to Ladies Home Journal? even though it was published in 1945? What about the Harlow pictures? Who owns the rights to these photos that we use  on our websites, etc and use them rather liberally? 
Any and all information would be appreciated.

Seeing more than meets eye
Science finding hallucinations may be reflection of brain pathways
By Ronald Kotulak
Tribune science reporter

January 1, 2002

Near-death experiences, in which people believe they see the bright light of 
heaven at the end of a tunnel, may be nothing more than the brain cells that 
process vision lighting up in such a way so as to reveal the circular 
pattern of how they are wired together.

New research also indicates that prehistoric cave and rock art depicting 
spirals, zigzags and other geometric forms may have been done by artists 
experiencing the same kind of drug-induced hallucinations that people today 
have when they take LSD, mescaline, Ecstasy and other psychedelic compounds.

A visual hallucination is defined as seeing something that's not there. They 
are relatively common, and almost all cultures from prehistoric times on 
have used drugs to induce hallucinations for religious, healing and artistic 
purposes.

But science now suggests that near-death images and other hallucinations 
involving geometric patterns are really there-- on the inside of the brain.

Inducing creative mood

People like Arthur Conan Doyle, Aldous Huxley, Cary Grant, Allen Ginsberg, 
Tallulah Bankhead, the Beatles, Charles Dickens, Timothy Leary and Salvador 
Dali, who used hallucinogens in the hopes of inducing a creative mood, were 
actually lighting up their brain wiring.

"[It] surged upon me an uninterrupted stream of fantastic 
[kaleidoscopic-like] images of extraordinary plasticity and vividness," is 
how Albert Hoffman, the brilliant Swiss chemist, described his first 
experience with LSD, a compound he had synthesized in 1938.

Hallucinations can also be caused by anesthetics, fatigue, hunger, stress, 
alcohol, fever, adverse drug reactions, sleep deprivation, bright flickering 
lights and even pressure on the eyeballs.

Normally, the 100 million neurons of the credit-card size visual cortex at 
the back of the head convert what our eyes see into edges color, depth and 
other features, and then reassemble the pieces into recognizable scenes of 
the outside world.

The process works fast. About 40 milliseconds after seeing an object, edge 
detectors are activated and in another 40 milliseconds the edges become 
pieced together into contours and the beginnings of surfaces. This 
information goes to other parts of the brain to be compared with stored 
memories.

In far less than a second you've basically solved the problem of vision, of 
remembering, recognizing and sorting out what the object is.

In the case of a hallucination, this does not happen. Through the action of 
drugs or other influences, the edge detectors become disengaged from the 
rest of the network and begin firing on their own.

The resulting hallucination reflects the pinwheel pattern of brain cells 
that process lines, curves and other geometric shapes, providing a 
remarkable view of the physical architecture of the visual cortex, according 
to recently published findings by Jack Cowan of the University of Chicago 
and Paul Bressloff of the University of Utah.

"It's almost like seeing your own brain through a mirror," Cowan said. 
"You're basically seeing patterns that your own brain is making."

4 basic groups

Cowan, who is a mathematician and a neurologist, has been studying 
hallucinations for 20 years. He was intrigued by the work of another U. of 
C. scientist, Heinrich Kluver, who in the 1920s and 1930s classified the 
drawings of people experiencing drug-induced hallucinations into four basic 
categories--tunnels and funnels; spirals; lattices; and cobwebs.

Based on new findings from optical imaging, in which scientists can actually 
see which neurons light up in the visual cortex of cats and monkeys when 
they view different lines and contours, Cowan, Bressloff and their 
colleagues developed a mathematical model that can accurately predict the 
shapes of different hallucinations.

"We calculated that given the kinds of anatomy in the visual cortex, there 
are only four kinds of patterns it will make when it goes unstable," Cowan 
said. "It turns out that those four kinds of patterns we get from the math 
correspond exactly to the four classes of patterns that Kluver ended up with 
based on his looking at the drawings."

Terry Sejnowski, director of the Salk Institute's Computational Neurobiology 
Laboratory, said the work of Cowan and Bressloff could have wide application 
in the areas of artificial intelligence and artificial vision.

"They have created a mathematical model which replicates surprisingly well 
the states that the brain gets into when it's having visual hallucinations," 
he said. "These hallucinatory stat

FRONTLINE Bulletin
http://www.pbs.org/frontline/


- This Week: "Did Daddy Do It?," Apr. 25 at 9:00pm (WTTW) on PBS
- Inside Frontline: An e-mail dispatch from producer Michael
Kirk
- Live Discussion: A chat with the producer, Fri. at 11 a.m. EDT



+ This week ...

As Americans know all too well these days, the sexual abuse of
children is
not an easy subject to broach. Still harder is to call into
question the
testimony of vulnerable minors and the integrity of experts and
prosecutors
who believe that they are protecting children from unspeakable
crimes.

But this week FRONTLINE examines a period in the 1980s when
prosecutors and
the public were swept up in a panic, fueled in part by the
media, that led
to dozens of infamous convictions for child-molestation in
day-care centers
around the country. Now, nearly 20 years later, an in-depth
re-examination
of one particular case calls into question the methods of those
who pursued
these cases so zealously.

In "Did Daddy Do It?," this Thursday night Apr. 25 at 9:00pm
(WTTW),
FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk and correspondent Peter J. Boyer
tell the
story of Frank Fuster, a Cuban immigrant who in 1984 was living
in the
suburban Miami neighborhood of Country Walk when he and his
young wife,
Ileana, were charged with sexually abusing more than 20 children
at their
home day-care center. Fuster -- who had prior convictions for
manslaughter
and child molestation -- was branded a "monster" by the local
media and
was convicted and sentenced to 165 years in prison, where he
remains today.

Fuster's case was significant because it established the "Miami
Method" of
prosecuting day-care abuse cases. This method -- which was
copied
nationwide -- involved having "child experts" elicit videotaped
testimony
from young children.

The Fuster case also boosted the political fortunes of Florida's
state
attorney at the time, Janet Reno. But FRONTLINE's investigation
reveals new
evidence that undermines the seemingly ironclad case against
Fuster,
including new allegations by Fuster's former wife that she was
personally
pressured by Reno to testify falsely against her husband.

On our website following the broadcast we'll offer more details
on the
stories of Frank and Ileana Fuster, a closer look at the
controversy over
the techniques of interviewing children about sexual abuse, and
much more.
You'll find it all at http://www.pbs.org/frontline/

We hope you'll join us.

Wen Stephenson Website Managing Editor
FRONTLINE

This program will be rebroadcast at the following time(s):
Apr. 28 at 11:00pm (WTTW)




+ Inside Frontline ...

[We asked FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk how the Fuster story
came to his
attention, and to elaborate on the "Miami Method" developed by
Florida
prosecutors in the 1980s to go after alleged child molesters.
This method
also figured in the cases of Grant Snowden and Bobby Fijnje,
which Kirk
reported on in FRONTLINE's 1998 "The Child Terror." See
http://www.pbs.org/frontline/shows/terror/ ]

. . . .

Several years ago we began researching a program about the panic
that
surrounded allegations of what is known as "multiple victim
child abuse."
Many of these cases were alleged to have happened in day-care
centers.  We
came to the conclusion that Miami was a kind of "ground zero"
for these
cases, so we began investigating stories there. We discovered
the Frank
Fuster case, known as "Country Walk," and the role played by
State Attorney
Janet Reno, the child "specialists" Joseph and Laurie Braga, and
the local
media. The more we looked at the details of this story, the more
we became
convinced that it and two others (Grant Snowden and Bobby
Fijnje) provided
the story trajectory we're always after.

The Fuster case was the first that employed what we call the
"Miami
Method." The prosecutors had learned that they would need
multiple
witnesses, speaking in unison about the details of an allegation
of abuse.
They devised, with the help of the Bragas, a method of
extracting
information from the children and videotaping that testimony. A
state law
was changed to allow the children to testify by closed-circuit
television
from the judge's chambers. The method also required physical
evidence, and
in the Fuster case that was the allegation that Fuster's son
Noel had
gonorrhea of the throat. Finally, the method called for an adult
eyewitness, which in Fuster's case was the testimony of his
wife, Ileana.

On the heels of the Fuster case, the method was applied to the
successful
retrial of police officer Grant Snowden. Snowden had been
previously
charged with child molestation but was acquitted when a jury
seemed not to
believe the young girl who made the allegation. The so-called
"Miami
Method" actually grew, in large measure, out of the lessons
prosecutors
learned from the first Snowden case.

The Bobby Fijnje case grew out of allegations by members of a
church who
believed t

can someone endorse me????

[Jim Matiya]

Hi,
I wanted to go to the Midwest Psychological Association annual convention 
this week in Chicago.  I realized my membership had expired.  When I went to 
renew/apply for membership, oops! Since I do not have a PhD, I need to have 
someone "endorse" me.
This is why high school teachers (and I have taught at a junior college for 
over 22 years and and at two other local univesities) get frustrated with 
the system.  Obviously having a PhD makes one, I don't know... not want to 
get a PhD...sorry. It just makes me so angry an disappointed in those who 
know so much more than I.
Is the idea to build membership or restrict membership?  I am willing to 
give them $40 but I need an endorsement?  I apologize if I offended anyone.  
I am retiring in a few years, and the idea I need to get someone to endorse 
me seems rather foolish. (what an understatement!)
Thanks for letting me ventI'll go back to my seat in the corner in  the 
back of the room.
Sorry if I wasted your time with my temper tantrum.

ethical behavior

[Jim Matiya]

Hi,
I am trying to devise an assignment involving psychology and "questionable 
ethical behavior" for high school students.

I am looking for some studies that have been done in recent memory that some 
people have questioned whether the experiment/survey was ethcally correct.
The first study that pops into my mind is the one about handwashing after 
going to the washroom. The researchers were in the stalls watching and 
tabulating how long and if people washed their hands. I remember people 
debating whether that was ethical or not for the researchers.

Anyway, I would be open to other ideas besides the bathroom one...I am not 
that much in touch with research studies, so if you could help me out, it 
would be appreciated.

RE: Two important pieces of information -listowner

[Jim Matiya]

Bill,
Thanks for all you do, only you know the time and efforts that go into TIPS. 
I continue to tell people, the single most important influence on my 
teaching has been TIPS and the people who reply with so many good ideas. I 
have made so many friendships and connected with so many people that at 
times I am overwhelmed.
Thanks again.

Re: mock trial?

[Jim Matiya]

Hi
I always played with the idea of having a mock trial of Hamlet, the 
perpetual question of whether he was insane or not.  I also considered a 
mock trial of Mark david Chapman...but time is very important.

Tonight, in Chicago, WTTW-PBS, is broadcasting a video you may want to 
videotape.  It is their P.O.V. series called the "Refrigerator Mothers." The 
show is about psychiatry's early theory  about autistic children.  They, of 
course, have a wonderful website at:

Re: Discovering Psychology

[Jim Matiya]

Hi,
The series was not extensively changed.  I saw the first episode, and I liked what I saw.  Two of studies were changed from the first episode.  I thought the newer episode, the updated one was superior.  I cannot speak for the other episodes.

FRONTLINE Bulletinhttp://www.pbs.org/frontline/- This Week: " A Crime of Insanity," Thursday, Oct. 17 at 9:00pmon PBS- Live Discussion: Chat with producer David Murdock on Fri. at11am ET+ This Week ..."When you're a trial lawyer, it doesn't matter what side you'reon,because you go into a zone and you're into the battle. You'renotthinking about right, you're not thinking about wrong. You'rejustthinking about winning ... about doing anything that you have todo --short of lie, cheat and steal. ... And anybody who says thatthey don'tdo that isn't telling you the truth."So says former prosecutor Cheryl Coleman. In 1996, she dideverythingshe had to do to convict a young man named Ralph Tortorici in anAlbany,N.Y., courtroom.In December 1994, Tortorici, then a 26-year-old psychologystudent atSUNY's Albany campus, held a class hostage at gunpoint,announcing thata computer chip had been implanted in his brain as part of agovernmentmedical experiment, and that he wanted to see the president oftheUnited States. One student was shot and seriously wounded beforepolicewere able to subdue Tortorici.That Tortorici was paranoid schizophrenic, and that not a singlepsychiatric expert could be found who would testify thatTortorici waslegally sane when he committed the crime, did not stop Colemanfrompressing her case with every tool and tactic of the prosecutor'strade.Nor did it stop the jury from convicting Tortorici on 11 countsofkidnapping and aggravated assault -- nor the judge fromsentencing himto the maximum penalty of 20 to 47 years in prison.In "A Crime of Insanity," this Thursday, Oct. 17 at 9:00pm(WTTW) on PBS, FRONTLINE takes a close look at the case of Ralph Tortorici andat the adversarial criminal justice system itself, in which attorneysarepitted against one another in a winner-take-all contest that toooftenleaves justice out of the equation.How cases like Tortorici's are handled is almost alwayscontroversial.What is unusual, and remarkable, is the candor with which CherylColemanspoke to FRONTLINE about the strategies used to undermineinsanityclaims, and about her own misgivings.We hope you'll join us on Thursday night. On our websitefollowing thebroadcast, you can read testimony from Tortorici's trial,interviewswith his father and brother about his emerging mental illness,thebasics of how the insanity defense works, and much more.

Re: developmental; fun "kid" video tricks?

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Traci,
In the search for science, truth, and a good educational video...I also held my daughter (then 6 years old, and now 17) and her friends hostage one Saturday.  I asked their parents if I could a make a video of them and explained my purpose.  Interestingly, today when I tell my students that I wanted to make a video of the children, my students make some snide remarks about me, some to my face and some under their breathe.  It is as if I am going to do some sort of terrible thing, maybe they have watched too many Law and Order episodes...
Anyway, I had four girls to videotape, one was 3 years old, one 4 years old, one 6 years old and one seven years old. These girls were my daughter's friends, and the 3 year old was a sister of one of the friends.  I attempted to make a video about Piaget's notions of intellectual development.  I did several of the conservation demonstrations, most of which I did okay.  The girls were spectacular, I fumbled over words trying to say the right and correct response.  I taped each individually on comparable tasks.  Two things worked well.  I placed a Raggedy Ann doll on a high chair across the girls and asked, what could Raggedy Ann see?  The best part was asking the girls questions: Why is grass green?  Why do birds sing? What is the biggest number you can recall?  Where does the sun go at night.  
I think it works very well in the classroom as a demonstration.

"You never know for whom you toil, who will reap the benefit of your work, who will grow in the nurturing of your giving, or who will respond to your being or having been.  All you can do is commit to a dream, work hard, and act like someone who is the way you want to be." 
Dr. David Viscott

Re: Popular Songs about Mental Illness

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Hipsters in Tipsville,
Yes, I do have a cd of songs I complied.
I really need to update it with some newer songs. 
With windows xp and roxio 5, the soundstream doesn't work like it use to with windows 2000. Maybe Rick can help?
I am still trying to figure out all these treads on optical illusions, whew!

RE: Looking for sites with optical illusions

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Rick, 
I can't believe YOU are asking this question! You seem to have so many idas and websites at your fingertips! Illusions? okay
I tend to like  http://www.sandlotscience.com/ 
some of their illusion models have been designed from the exhibits from the exploratorium.

Re: TIPSter text

[Jim Matiya]

Hi everyone,
Last week Stephan Black mentioned that, "let me express my opinion that TIPSters who've written books should not be shy about promoting them on this list. I think most of us would be intererested to hear of them. "
And in Christopher Green's words, "Allow me to self-promote."
I thought I sent a message last week, but somehow it lost its way..
I recently was hired by www.TeachingPoint.net to produce two books for the high school market.  These books contain daily lesson plans (!), a pacing guide for every chapter, assignments, rubrics, an activity book (over 250 pages!) with original project ideas, powerpoints and class notes, two assessments for every chapter, and answers for every graphic organizer, laboratory, and experiment etc. aligned with the National Standards and state standards, for both a one semester course in Psychology and for a full year Advanced Psychology class. 
As a retiring teacher, I found the process to be really very interesting and somewhat cathartic

Several years ago there was a conference in Chicago of lawyers. They had a special night where they held a mock trial using Hamlet. Lawyers discussed the sanity of Hamlet in this court setting, discussing whether he was insane or sane. Hamlet was found  I'll have to find my notes at school.

I was trying to get the editors of the zimbardo book to allow me to make-up questions for an ap psych course related to each of the videos.  I figured since so many psych teachers use the series as a review it would be a great idea. There is a resource book that goes with the series, but it is hard to get a copy of it, and some of the questions do not seem to even go with the video segmnets.
Oh well, we'll keep pushing that boulder up the mountain

RE: The History of Psychology in US High Schools?

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Linda,


Source: Engle, T.L. 1967, Teaching Psychology at the Secondary Level: Past, Present, Possible Future. In Journal of School Psychology. Spring. Vol.5, No.3. ( I am not sure if this form is correct---being retired makes me feel that way)
I'll type some sentences for you. I can send you a copy if you wish..
"We have evidence (Coffield and Engle, 1960) that in 1857 St. Louis offered a high school course in Mental Philosophy which seems to have been something of a psychology course for that day."
"The first high school textbooks containing the word "psychology" in the titles seemed to have appeared in 1889."
"Records show that as early as 1910 psychology was in the curriculum of the Kansas City schools and that by 1937 it was estimated that two-thirds of the high school in the state of Kansas offered psychology."
In a paper by Stahl,R. and Matiya, J., (published some where in some journal, I could look it up,but!) "Upham's Elements of Mental Philosophy initially published in 1831 and reprinted in several subsequent editions, seems to have been the first psychology textbook used in American schools (Roback, 1952). It has been estimated that in the U.S. between 1831 and 1881 more than a half million textbooks under various titles were sold for use in these courses (Roback, 1952). In the 1890s, psychology became one of the leading elective replacements for the course in moral philosophy that until then was required in many Easter U.S. high schools and academies for graduation."
In 1932-33, psychology was offered in 15 states, in the early 1950s, 34 states, and by 1970 in all 50 states as a separate semester of year-long course for credit. In 1935, as a response to the increasing expansion of psychology as a course of study in high schools, the American Psychological Association established a committee to study the progress of psychology on the precollege level (Stone & Watson, 1936).

[tips] degrees of ....

[Jim Matiya]

Hey Beth,
Is that like smoking but not inhaling?
I believe I see young people today engaging in more and more risky (and 
foolish) behavior than ever before. More and more we hear of outlandish 
behaviors and saddly, they say, I didn't know the gun was loadedI didn't 
mean to hurt anyone...I wasn't really drunk...I don't want the boy to be 
arrested, it wasn't really rape? huh? More an more young people want degrees of 
murder, degrees of prejudice, degrees of mental disorders, and degrees of 
responsibility.
Sorry, I guess it's a sore point with me.

This is from a student, and since this isn't my strong point, I throw it out to 
TIPSters.  I'm not sure what she means to "a little raped," but the rest is 
worth considering:
 
"What are the terms that mean (1) you either have the illness or you do not, in 
other words it is not measured along a continuum so to speak...  (2) you can 
have some symptoms of a disease, but there are CLEARLY varying degrees.
 
And, what are some examples from the DSM.  Or maybe a better way to put it, 
is...  I don't think you can have "mild" manic depression...  you either have 
it or you don't... right??  Maybe not the best example.  But I think you'll 
understand what I am trying to get at.  I think its important and that there 
are specific terms psychologists use but I can't remember, find what they are.
 
The reason I am asking is because I want to incorporate it into my paper.  I 
think victims might often think "well, i was just a little raped... not Big 
Time raped..."

Have you tried the "Rat Olympics" ( it isn't called that because the U of

Thanks Beth,
Those fish are "smart." Those fish are rather petite, I bet they would not mind 
being on a scale.
Maybe it's because they stay in school(s). (ouch!)

Jim,
Those were the most amazing videos - especially the " 'fishy' behaviors" sites. 
 My super-sports-oriented husband was especially impressed by the ball-handling 
abilities of the fish.  I think it gave him a whole new [lack of] respect for 
some of his hallowed sports heroes.  Thank you so much for sending those sites.

This reminds me of a story a colleague told me while I was in MA at Bridgewater 
State.  A woman showed up to the final late, and explained to Sandy that the 
reason why she came late is because she was wearing “stand up pants” and didn’t 
want to walk into class in front of everyone.  Sandy was confused, and asked 
what stand pants were, and the student explained to her that while wearing them 
you have to stand up, otherwise they will not cover the full…ahem…whale tail.  
Seriously, what’s the point of that???  “Your pants don’t fit you then,” I 
wanted to say to the student.  Ahhh…clothing trends.

The reference to "cracks" may not be appropriate for this list.  The preferred

[Jim Matiya]

Hey Beth,
I had a student who was presenting Loftus' ideas about reconstructed memories. 
She was using power point. She placed a picture of herself and her brother in 
front of the Magic Kingdom. She asked how many other students recall seeing 
Bugs at Disneyland. The hands went-up!

Hi everyone,
The other day, I watched a PBS show called, Independent Lens. The url is 
http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/hiphop/. It was really something...crude

[tips] RE: The things students will say...

[Jim Matiya]

Okay , I'll wade into this thread...
 
On Monday I had a student who asked to see her last test in Social Psych. I 
gave her the scan-tron but not the test because I did not have one with me, so 
she gave me back the scan-tron. On Wednesday (we meet on M & W), I gave her the 
test and her scan tron. She then informed me that she made an appointment with 
my dept. chair, which I could also attend, because she didn't unerstand how I 
graded the test. She wanted to take the test and the scan-tron to her meeting 
with the dept. chair, but I took it back. I did make a copy of her scan-tron 
for her to take to the dept. chair.  She informed me that she has never failed 
a psychology test before she got in my class (this is her second course in 
psych). Her test grades are 60, 65, 70, ad 68.
Sure enough, after my next class, guess who was at my door? Yep, the 
dept.chair. She wants me to meet with the girl, and then, if  the girl is not 
satisfied, to meet with her and the girl. Both the dept. chair and I are not 
sure what exactly the girls wants, unless it is she wants a better grade in the 
class. By the way, the final exam is Monday. Did I also say she did not hand-in 
eight assignments? 
Gosh, I am confused. I have never had a student who questioned me about how a 
test is graded. Typically I will make up abot 60 questions for  a test. I 
require them to answer 30 questions I have selected and they can pick any 10 
questions to answer, which means they have answered 40 questions.
 
What do you think is her motivation?

[tips] RE: availability

[Jim Matiya]

Hey Marty,
Yep, this past semester I also had two people who complained I didn't have 
office hours. Yes, that is correct. And I don't have an office, nor a desk, nor 
a chair, nor a telephone. I even put in the syllabus I didn't have office 
hours, but they could be scheduled with me. I guess, that wasn't good enough.
I know of a teacher who ends class 10 minutes early for "office hours."

Hi Annette,
I believe the the motor cortex controls these functions. They lie so close to 
one another that the brain cannot switch back and forth that rapidly. I am sure 
someone in TIPSville can better explain it than I.

[tips] RE: Can someone on the list send me an explanation please?

[Jim Matiya]

Hi Annette,
I did find what I found several years ago about being unable to perform these 
simple tasks...
 
The interference is a result of the proximity of the two areas of the motor 
cortex for the same (right or left) hand and foot.  When using one from the 
left and the other from the right this interference does not occur because the 
two involved areas are relatively far apart - actually in the opposite 
hemisphere.

[tips] RE: Children's book

[Jim Matiya]

Nancy, 
I would recommend Psychology For Kids, 2nd edition by Jonni Kincher. It has 40  
experiments for elementary children interested in learning about people. It 
builds on the curiosity young peolpe have about others.  It can be found in 
popular book stores, science stores, etc. The ISBN is 0-915793-83-0. 
A disclaimer: Jonni is a friend and my students' work is included in the book, 
okay and I wrote the Forword...

Hi,
 
I've had an unusual request from one of my online students. She wants to know 
if there is a book available that explains psychology as a science to 
elementary school students (so not one of those APA kiddie books for children 
with psychological or psychosocial issues, but an introduction to the science).
 
Does such a thing exist?
 
Hope all the tipsters are having an excellent summer.

[tips] Human Sexuality

[Jim Matiya]

Now that the kinks have been worked out...
I asked for information on PsychTeach and now I will ask for help with teaching 
Human Sexuality on TIPS.
My dept. chair asked me to teach this course, and ,of course, I said yes, even 
though I had never taught it before. So this neophyte needs some help.
Any activities, videos ideas, procedures would be appreciated.

[tips] facial attractiveness

[Jim Matiya]

Hi everyone...
Somewhere in my favorites/bookmarks is a link for a page where students can go 
to rate the attractiveness of a person. I remember the picture morphing from 
male to female and students can click on a picture that they find most 
attractive. 
Does this ring a bell? I spent about 45 minutes trying to find it, does anyone 
else use a webpage liek this for class? I tried facial analysis but it wasn't 
exactly what I wanted

Dear Annette:I just read your wonderful post and wanted to thank you for your 
"spot on" thoughtful analysis. Like you, I also live here in San Diego and I've 
been obsessing about the television commentators who compare San Diego's fires 
to Katrina. This is so insulting. Talk about "blaming the victim"! One thing 
I've learned in all my years of teaching and studying psychology is that people 
are, by and large, the same around the world. San Diegans are no better or 
worse than people in New Orleans. As you've so perfectly described, the 
conditions here are nothing like what happened before, during, or after 
Katrina. I visited New Orleans twice after the floods and also went to 
Gulfport, Mississippi and the devastation was unbelievable. Even two years 
after the hurricane these places still look like bombed out shells of their 
former selves. I don't know about you, but I've been mentally struggling with 
how to process all of this and how to make this situation a learning experience 
for my students. How can we help them understand the inappropriate comparisons 
to Katrina without minimizing or denigrating our own losses? I'm thinking that 
I might try a "Values Walk" when I get back to class next week. Any other 
ideas? Thanks, Karen PS Like you, my home and family are all safe, yet I also 
feel "brain dead." Thanks for validating my lack of focus.
