Hi
In most of the examples given, I think people are being too harsh to say that
the results are ridiculous or meaningless. When one "estimates" some
hypothetical value there may be conditions where the underlying value is so
close to a maximum or a minimum that your estimate falls above the m

would think that psychologists could offer a lot of new ideas for possible

I, too, found this a riveting video. One other question: She said her
symptoms started "yesterday." It seems as though these severe symptoms
should have been a horrendous, startling event, yet she seems rather
accepting of her severe symptoms. Is this understandable in light of her

Hi,
I stumbled across this video earlier today, and I'd like others'
comments about it. Is it a typical portrayal of tardive dyskinesia? Was
this young woman's development of it exceptionally fast? Is her clarity
of speech and absence of movement when she concentrates typical or
atypical?

Hi Joan-
While anything may be possible I don't think that this case is very plausible.
This is not simply a case of losing semantic memory while retaining procedural
memory (I think that there is evidence for that). Rather, this is a case where
we are to believe that episodic memories can be
Hmmm, I think you folks are making premature conclusions and believe, to
the contrary, that this is a plausible case. First, his head injury did
not appear to be mild but fairly severe. Relative to questioning his
ability to still have language skills, a perfect analogy is Clive Wearing

Or in this case, using a terminology that is clearly a nonsensical violation of
the obvious. Saying that you have computed a negative coefficient of
determination, for example, would not be so obviously ludicrous as saying you
have computed a negative r-squared (if you know that squaring any val
Since psychology purports to define itself as the scientific study of
behavior,most of the time the behaviors that are under scrutiny
are mostly that of white folks and attempts to generalize classroom psychology
to other cultures are very restricting.It would not be a problem if instead of

NO!!! People are constantly falling for this psychocrap. We need to keep
talking about the real truth over and over and over again in the media because
we are being countered by the "evidence" (mostly testimonials) provided by the
purveyors of this expensive snake oil.

I concur. I find it especially implausable that he can selectively lose all of
his memories of life events and yet still retain all of his language skills. In
the video it shows him asking his wife "why are they throwing rice?" while
looking at a movie of their wedding. How would he know that it

Thanks for passing this along. I know there are a ton of these "brain

into the claims of these games in an empirical way. Printing out now...
