[tips] Breast feeding and imitation
Hello, my daughter is studying to become a midwife and they had a course on breast feeding yesterday. They were told that when the baby is not feeding well, it may be that he is not opening his mouth enough, so the mothers are advised to show him how to by opening their mouth forming a big O, so the baby, by imitation will open his mouth as well. My question is: I could accept that during breast feeding, the mother's face is at the right distance for the baby to see her (10-15 inches), BUT is the scheme of imitation already present 2-3 days after birth? If the phenomenon is verified, is it because the baby imitates, or because while opening her mouth, the mother also changes her posture so that the baby is in a better position to suck properly?

Good points. Sticky issue. I have had many presentations that on the surface may look like almost the same one but in fact were subsequent ones that incorporated changes based on previous presentations and the feedback acquired. Eventually these have lead to a publication that incorporated the total feedback.

RE: [tips] Double Dipping in Conference Papers :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education's Source for News, Views and Jobs
OK, but there is a difference between presenting the same primary report of the results of an empirical study in various venues and presenting work at various degrees of progress between journal publications. It seems that all of your papers and posters presented something new in the progress you were making on your program of research. On the other hand, what about a well-known person who is invited to various events to present basically the same findings? These would be advertised as a review of the researcher's work in an area. I could imagine one person on the research rubber chicken circuit giving that presentation many times. However, I think it would be up to the promotion and tenure committee how they would judge that. My guess is that it wouldn't be an issue for most researchers famous enough to receive multiple invitations to speak about their research.

RE: [tips] Breast feeding and imitation
I suspect that this teacher is depending on research that shows that some newborns will imitate facial expression. That original work was published by Andrew Meltzoff and Tiffany Field. Two of the more commonly imitated expressions were the open mouth and tongue protrusion. Later work (unfortunately I do not have even a name to help find the published work, I encountered it at an SRCD poster session years ago) showed that these two facial expressions might be more closely related to feeding than emotional expressions. I don't know if later work linked the processes of imitation and support for breast feeding. I am familiar enough with some of this research that I would not expect all newborns to imitate these models. Some would estimate that more than half will imitate, but others estimate that less then half of those tested produced the imitations.

Re: [tips] Breast feeding and imitation
Hi Some research did report the apparent ability of infants to imitate mouth gestures ... see http://www.baillement.com/meltzoff.html I vaguely remember some questions were raised about alternative explanations. For example, tongue sticking out might appear like a mother's nipple and produce tongue protrusion as a natural part of feeding. I'm not sure how well this accounts for all imitations reported. Apparently there is on-going research on this question, including work with infant monkeys that is being related to mirror neurons.

Perhaps we should distinguish among presentations that are made to establish scientific priority and other purposes, such as job talks, invited presentations/colloquia, etc. Then again, the question arises about whether this is consistently done with publications (e.g., publication in a empirical research journal versus Scientific American magazine versus some other popular magazine and so on). -Mike Palij New York University [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

If one is presenting the same research results, even somewhat modified, what is the scientific justification? There are other, broader ways of looking at conference presentations, I think. I believe that one could develop a variety of categories into which one would classify conference presentations and the establishment of priority for empirical results is just one category. Each category can be assigned a value according to some scheme. One such scheme might focus on the significance of the scientific contributions of the presentations. Another might be whether the value that a tenure committee might assign to a particular category (e.g., empirical research report vs. presentation of a teaching innovation). Any scheme would, of course, represent some set of values which might be meaningful to one group but not another. Indeed, there may be personal reasons as well. I have occasionally presented substantially similar papers to conferences that have quite different audiences. The justification is simply to have the work known in these two different scholarly communities. (For instance, I gave a paper on a psychologist who worked with the 1938 Chicago Cubs at both a history of psychology conference and at a history of baseball conference. The paper was reworked in order to address the knowledge-bases and expectations of each audience, but the underlying research was basically the same.) I believe I've seen the printed version of this paper which one might claim trumps the presentations because that is the more enduring record (what if the presentations never make it into print? Do they still count). But your point is that that same material can be presented to different audiences in two different ways. How should these two seperate presentations be counted? One topic presented twice or two different topics? Consider the following: If one were to publish a book that was popular with the general public, one might be asked to make a large number of presentations on the basis of such a book, each presentation modified either to focus on different issues in the book and/or tailored to the audience being addressed? Is this many different presentations or just one topic dressed up somewhat differently for different occasions? But what is point? Does one have to impress a tenure committee? Does one want to sell books or develop a certain degree of popularity? This again raises questions of values and what is important or what is one trying to achieve. Conference papers (and publications for that matter) aren't simply about presentation (to the world at large) but about *communication* to particular communities of scholars. This is certainly one way to think about presentations/publications but I think it is a severely limited one. For example, it doesn't explain why one would make up data and present it to a community of scholars. Clearly, communication plays some role but that's not the most important reason, rather, I think, it is the need to impress someone or a group of people in order to maintain status, income, and funding for the future (of course, getting caught means that one has lost everything but still people do these things). I also think that originality and creativity plays a significant role, which is why plaigiarism is so important to most of us. We could simply rewrite or rearrange other people's writing and submit it as our own if all we were interested in is just communication. But we don't do that. However, if we take our own work, rearrange it and present anew, we seem to have a different situation. Why is that? But we're now dealing with the sociology of science (perhaps the philosophy of science) instead of science per se. You say that as though it doesn't matter. :-) Not at all. But why would psychologists be interested in either the sociology of or the philosophy of science? ;-) When our scholarly identities were fairly simple (because there weren't that many associations and journals to go around), the idea of presenting once and only once made a certain amount of sense. In recent decades the scholarly scene has become much more complicated, and (many of) our scholarly identities have become more complex and multidisciplinary as well. As someone who might be said to have scholarly MPD and have seen the games that academics have played, I would like to say that the internet might have made things
