TIPSters,
Thought you might find this of interest. As with most pop psych, there's
probably a little bit of truth (and a bit of bunk). This is the sort of thing my
students go wild over. Opinions, anyone?

I probably shouldn't publicize this, but in a moment of
immaturity it occurred to me that it would be quite funny
if the discussant for this symposium began her/his talk

Some students want to do a study on how time pressure affects memory. A

effective. Does anyone know of some research in this area?
