It seems to matter which "this edge" you do third and which fourth. And to
think my time used to be spent wondering which section of the Appalachian Trail

The conceptualization of the null hypothesis is one of those ideas that has one
foot in philosophy and the other in psychological science.I can remember when I
first came across it in undergrad and the prof told me that it was "given" as
the starting point for experimentation and research and th

Some subscribers to TIPS and TeachEdPsych might be interested in a
recent post "Re: Is Physics Difficult? understanding acceleration,
etc..." [Hake (2010a)]. [This is a sequel to "Is Physics Difficult?
(was Why are we still asking silly questions?) (Hake, 2010b).] The

Very good Allen! I've been using this technique and my sheets still come out
looking halfway between the one on the right and the one on the left; of course
I don't have such a large accomodating table to work with, only the top of the
washer/dryer with the lids all closed ;)
of course, this IS

You don't even have to find the primary source (although I did find the
abstract) to know that David Brooks' comment that "Physical contact improves
team performance" confuses correlation and causation. It was nice to see from
the primary source abstract that the authors did not, in fact, make t

Perhaps but I'm only singly insulated. :) Are you not also, "insulated in an
academic cocoon"?
I've checked and can't find anything I'm 2SDs below the mean on- except, of
course, for a variety of reciprocals. :)

Hi Michael
I wonder if you ought not to get your institution to remove the mention of
psychology as a science?

lolthat's hillarious...the studies were pretty funny too (except
of course for the fact that money may have been wasted on them).
But what comes through clearly is that the public knows best...they
aren't fooled by the eggheads (thank God!).

Yes.
The self-referential nature of the post was fully realized and

Hi
A NYTimes article summarizing some interesting behavioral science phenomena at
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/07/opinion/07brooks.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=a212
provoked a substantial number of depressingly negative comments. Perhaps they
are former students of Michael Smith's?

So there I was on the treadmill listening to what I thought would finally be an
interesting study summary on CNN about how those new drinks that combine
alcohol with caffeine might be causing kids to be more aggressive - or that the
relationship could be the other way around they admitted - when

You've got the order backwards.
A normal distribution often emulates (to a certain degree of accuracy) the
distribution of natural phenomena.

Or could be that TIPSTERS fall 2 standard deviations below the mean,
as they are insulated in an academic cocoon safely removed from
reality.

I was introduced to the idea that nature emulates a normal curve very early in
life.And that this principle will be found in the varieties of measurement from
intelligence to societal and cultural norms.A normal distribution is really a
statistical and academic delight.
Well with all that talk
