Sensory input and perception,a student asked:
"if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around,
does it still make a sound?"
I assume yes because a tape recorder could be left there to monitor
the forest activity.
I believe I've read that Freud had asked Schur (I'm not sure how directly)
to administer a possibly fatal dose of morphine if necessary to treat his
pain.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thus, he could not have developed a tolerance to morphine at the time Schur
injected him with two doses of 20 mg

Michael,
The problem, "if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one
around, does it still make a sound?" is a semantic problem. It
depends on what you mean by "making a sound". If making a sound means
the creation of vibrations of an audible frequency, then the answer
is yes, even if there

This question provides a great opening to get students to think about

On my final exam the bonus question was:
