does procedural memory implies that there are some memory cell assemblies in the muscles of that act performance? Michael Sylvester,PhD Daytona Beach,Florida ---

Re: [tips] info:procedural memory

Re: [tips] Great Video Clip of Temper Tantrum

Yes, these are fun and useful for class. I thought you were going to say these are now to be used to help parents identify and seek out help for children with non-specific, emotionally reactive, conduct disorders. Early diagnosis, early treatment, don't you know! ;-)Gary Gerald L.

Re: [tips] Ping Pong Playing Pigeons

Hi Jim, This doesn't answer your request directly. There is video footage showing the pigeons in action in the NOVA program about Skinner's life which I think was named B. F. Skinner: A World of Difference. Also I am fairly sure that there is a picture of the pigeon ping pong in Skinner's

Re: [tips] Ping Pong Playing Pigeons

Hi Jim: There are two possible sources, both originally on 16 mm film. The first might be in the old Appleton-Century-Crofts 4-part series, _Behavior theory in practice_. The second, _Learning about learning_ from the old NET (predecessor of PBS) series called Focus on behavior. Somewere

[tips] Comparing correlations

Hi Tipsters I have a simple correlational question. What is the formula for comparing two significant correlation coefficients? Among one group r(44) = .37, p = .01 and among a different group r(115) = .19, p = .04. My question is whether the first corr is sig. greater than the second? Marie
