"Male/Female Brains"

Hello everyone and happy holidays to you: I just read a "blurb" on Michale Gurian's newest book. "'What Could He Be Thinking? How a Man's Mind Really Works,' combines two decades of neurobiological research with anecdotes from everday life and Guiran's experience as a family therapist to present

apparition

Hi everyone:   A student sent this to me asking for an explanation. If you look at the column of four dots in the center of the design for about 30 seconds and then look away or close your eyes, you will see a circle of white light shortly followed by an image of a person with long hair and a

intriguing question

Hi all:   I use PowerPoint presentations and for the first day I have a "welcome to class" slide with very basic information on it. I would like to include a "snappy", intriguing question related to psychology that also relates to some everyday, common behavior many don't think about. One of

"mom....dad...look at this" or "dad.... mom.... look at this"

My husband and I were in a large pet store and there were lots of kids there with their parents. I noticed when the kids saw something they wanted their parents to see, it was always (N = 17, limited data, I admit, and anecdotal evidence) "Mom, dad...look, come here, etc." Gender was irrelev

something odd about human behavior

Hi again:   Please don't forget about my earlier request. I'd like to pose students with a question about human behavior; something commonplace but odd; something most of us do but we give little thought to; something they might answer one way, though research findings are the exact opposite.

Re: Tips on Tipping: gender difference?

Any literature on who leaves bigger tips? I've heard women do, but have no data to support this assertion. Any data on age? Race? etc.? Jean Edwards --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Random Thought: A Scary Realization

It's not JUST the teacher, Louis. The students contribute to the classroom environment as well. Over the course of 11 years, it has happened to me twice (thankfully): no matter what I tried, the classroom milieu was cold enough to hang meat. I found myself wondering how on earth 40 some students co

Re: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (was; Betty Edwards)

Hi all: Why isn't there a similar effect when people undergo MRIs? I read somewhere the units generate a magnetic field 30,000 times stronger than the earth's magnetic field. What am I missing? Jean Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home for summer, yeah) - Original Message - From:

Re: Biting in children

Hi all: I'm curious: have any of you ever advised a parent of a biting child to bite the child in return? If not, why not, given it's "great effectiveness"? Is it ethical and practical to recommend methods that are not as effective and which prolong the problem? Is there any generalization from th

Sleep deprivation

Hello all: While discussing the effects of sleep deprivation, a student asked if one could die from lack of sleep. Aside from fatal familial insomnia and not counting sleep-related fatal accidents, is it possible for humans to die from sleep deprivation? Thanks in advance to those who reply J E

dying and loss of senses

Hello all... In my developmental psych class, a student asked a question concerning dying: which of the senses is the last one to go? I threw the question out to the class. Many said the sense of touch is the last remaining sense. All of my nursing majors said they were told the sense of hearing.

Rick: I'm writing to seek permission to forward your letter to Dr. Olan Ray who resides over the junior college board in MS. I'm hoping it will make an impression. I never fully appreciated the plight of the adjunct/part-timer til now. JL Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
