Dear Hugh, Stephen, et al.
I think this is a repeat of an earlier TIPS topic, but it
seems to me (and also seems supported by the roller coaster
example) that the strong monocular, without-special-glasses
3-D effect of IMAX films comes from very effective presentation
of motion parallax--objects

There has been a lot of talk on several lists on this topic. So
many people are quick to play the role of the Queen of Hearts. But, I

I think I may have discovered a pattern in our discussion of why there are
no new important discoveries.
First: we in general ignore the comments that ask "What evidence do we
have that there are fewer discoveries" and assume that the non-avilability
of any in our minds suggests their absence.
Speaking of 3-D imax movies, I really saw one in Manhattan at a SONY
theatre using very heavy, hihg-tech, goggles that receive an electronic
signal- anybody know how they work?

The new discoveries, at least in some areas (e.g., social, personality,
developmental, cognition,... etc) will come when we realize
that we have squeezed out of the scientific method (as used by physical
scientists) ... what we can.
New discoveries will come when we put new eyes on and

I wonder how much of this has to do with increased ethical standards for

Milgram or Skinner was working today, would they ever get started, given

Hi Tipsters and Tipsterettes:
In response to a question from a student whose sibling suffers from Night
Terrors, what is the current state of the art in treating this parasomnia?
Any information is as always appreciated.
Good week to all.

My daughter received her Ph.D. in Social Psych last year. of
course, she went into social psych rather than biopsych. but I
love her anyway.

Dear TIPSters (including Mark Casteel),
Regarding my message--reprinted below via Mark Casteel--allow me to
correct a few things:
Yes, the Journal on Excellence in College Teaching still is a good place

There is depth aplenty available from monocular cues. I have
experienced
IMAX, but not with goggles (something new for them?). Extreme wide
screen
movies, such as IMAX, give a powerful depth depth effect, based, I
strongly
suspect, on the great sensitivity of the visual periphery for motion.
