Hi Ann Muir Thomas,
In fact there are a few studies which have shown that there are
some people who got better at some aspects of their behaviour
after traumatic brain injuries.
You may like to get hold of:
Toomela, A., Tomberg, T., Orasson, A., et al., 1999. 'Paradoxical

A student wanted to know if people who are bilinguals dream

I would assume it depends on the dream narrative.

Regression to the mean may have been demonstrated by the Yankees. But they were
still at the top of the heap. This was also true of the home run totals of Sosa
and McGwire which were still above the Ruth record. Somewhat less than last year
but still extreme scores. Pretty good evidence that
My experiences with Endnotes are exactly like those described. The program
is simply outstanding. Endnotes did have some problems in downloading
information from my university's version of Psych Lit. This was quickly
solved with their outstanding Tech Support. The program is expensive-$150 or
According to one of my colleagues, the passage is from Francis Bacon's
"Novum Organon" - at least that is a claim from someone who is very
familiar with the text in the Anderson edition.

Hey Tipsters,
Something happened to my account so I have been out of the loop for a while.
I'm hoping that you have all heard about the following issue regarding
long-distance charges for email. If not, please read, complain, and pass it

You may remember at the beginning of the year I mentioned that the
NYYankees' 1999 season would present an obvious example of regression to the
mean. They won 125 games last year, and not surprisingly, will do worse than
that this year.
An experimental _design_ would be not be affected by the units chosen.
I assume that this simply meen that quantities be identified in metric
units. This should not be a design problem.

We were talking about brain injuries in class yesterday, and how much of
what we know about the brain is based on deficits related to specific
areas of
So, the fact that Mark McGwire "only" hit 65 home runs and Sammy Sosa "only"
63 must be two other manifestations of regression, eh? Or, in McGwire's
case, maybe because he stopped taking Andro. I almost bet my life savings
($2.35) that Mcgwire would hit fewer than 61 home runs this year, counting

Don't worry. This sounds like the "urban legend" that surfaces
