Re: [tips] The Dark Life of Killer Kittys
I too was amazed at the havoc that domestic kitties can do as they hunt for fun and stimulation... I used to use the article mentioned (Chrucher & Lawton) as a research design analysis exercise in my Experimental Psychology class... Its an interesting and easy to understand study for students to evaluation... Here is the reference: Churcher, P. B. , & Lawton, J. H. (1987). Predation by domestic cats in an English village.

My old cat was quite the "cat about town" and I could frequently find him lounging in the driveway of a house on the next block (with their two big German shepherds, no less!). All the neighbors knew him. I suspected him of dining out at the home of a man several blocks away (who also did a French cooking show on local TV and wrote a food column for the newspaper). I spotted him sauntering out of that driveway a few times on my way home from work! BTW that cat specialized in squirrels. A study in England many years ago (featured in an old Nova program, I think) asked cat owners to document the "gifts" their cats brought home to them (which the researchers collected regularly in little baggies). The haul was impressive, both in number and variety. Cats are predators. What a surprise. Now, when will we have the doggie cams that show Fido rolling in something unmentionable and smelly, upending trash cans, chasing cars, kitties, and little children? :-) I did get a kick about the "risky behavior."

Re: [tips] Psychology images in the public domain
Gary, For self-evident photos, why not look for some of persons doing the Stroop task, a rat swimming in a water maze with someone timing it, an animal in an operant chamber pressing lever or keys in a discrimination task, someone administering an IQ or other type of test, a person with a human taking EEG or an animal receiving EBS or generating evoked potentials to a stimulus, babies in a car seat engaged in a habituation or gaze test to some stimulus, etc. I would google clip art images using specific terms (e.g., Stroop clip art photos). When I did so, I found lots of free photos of babies wired with electrodes for an EEG, rats & humans in mazes, Stroop testing hope this helps and gets you started. rene Dr. Rene Verry Ph.D. Experimental Psychology Learning Research Specialist ACT/SAT/GRE Site Supervisor Office of Student Success Staley Library Room 14D Millikin University 1184 W Main Decatur, IL 62522 217-424-6398 rve...@millikin.edu To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

Re: [tips] Andragogical Education anyone?
Tipsters, Because I am currently enrolled in a tutor certification course through the National Tutoring Association, I had the opportunity to learn more about the andragogical approach (like Jim I was not aware of this distinction either). Andragogy is distinguished from pedagogy with the former emphasizing the role of teacher as tutor, coach, or guide. Whereas the teacher is more in control of learning objectives, class structure in a pedagogical model, the andragogical teacher / tutor works as an equal partner where learning goals are mutually determined and negotiated, teaching methods individualized according to the needs of the learner (idiosyncratic), with problem solving and Socratic questioning as dominant approaches to material delivery. Not surprisingly, tutoring takes the andragogical approach, but it is used with all ages and not limited to adult education. Andragogical goals include developing an increased understanding of the material (common to all instruction), become a self-directed / independent learner (present in many pedagogies), through individualized 1:1 or 1:few interaction (usually limited by class size, time constraints, curriculum requirements, etc.).

They presumably mean during non-REM sleep, which is wrong on two accounts. First it's now known that substantial dreaming occurs outside of REM, so equating REM with dreaming sleep is just plain wrong.

RE: [tips] Mind - Research Upends Traditional Thinking on Study Habits - NYTimes.com
Folks, Writing this on the fly before class, but I would argue based on learning and memory research - on the one hand, studying in only one place provides both strong retrieval cues as well as stimulus control for attention. Studying in multiple places makes the information less context specific, and reduces the consequences of location cue specificity as a tag for memory retrieval analogous to conversion from episodic to semantic memories... all semantic memories were once episodic based on where and when learned but then get retrieved in a variety of locations and become less context linked... indeed context becomes irrelevant for most facts... rene Dr. Rene Verry Associate Professor of Psychology Behavioral Sciences Department 423-F Shilling Hall Millikin University 1184 W Main Decatur, IL 62522 217-424-6398 rve...@millikin.edu CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message along with any included attachments may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
