Pat,
Here's a time consuming, but I think, valuable technique. Start with a
detailed
literature search of the specific area in which you'd like to do research

become competent. Identify the authors. Don't forget that junior authors may

What am I missing?
Many psychology departments already have a course in evolutionary
psychology, but it's probably titled "Comparative Psychology" or "Animal

Nancy asked:
" ...a student has asked for an explanation of how hallucinogens act on

The short answer seems to be that most hallucinogens act at serotonergic
receptors but there's conf
I am still pursuing lines of thought related to my recent posts. The
goal of this post is to question an assumption, made (I think) by many

Hello Tipsters,
Yes, I am so silly that I did not make a back-up of the wonderful
Vokey and Read "Backward Language" tape that a
Tipster-whose-name-I've-forgotten sent me. If anyone knows where I can get

instructor had certain entries which were not delineated,but seemed
content to refer the students to the catalog.
For Examples:

Thanks to all the Tipsters who located the "Talking in Class Won't Kill You"
exercise! For any one else who is interested it can be found in the preface
to the instructor's manual for the Myers general psych book, and also in the
