Re: [tips] Lake Wobegon effect

I've been worried about my inability to give credit for the exercise I posted. I had typed up the exercise many years ago, and I'm not positive where I originally found it. (Not very good research, I know!) But my gut feeling is that it was from one of the first social psychology texts I ever us

re: [tips] amazing chimp

A few points: (1) After Haber's criticism of the iconic memory construct, not too many people continue to believe in its existence in its original form. Geoff Loftus has argued for it instead of considering it to be an example of visual persistence (i.e., it is an early visual processing artifac

re: [tips] amazing chimp

Hi Much exaggeration of the abilities reflected here, impressive though the animal's performance is. A couple of observations: What is the duration of iconic memory for chimps? Note here that the lack of verbal abilities might actually help, in that there could be no effort to "name" the dig

I'm also a colleague of the researcher here at Plymouth State University who's investigating age and memory correlations. As I fit into her category of "over 60," I volunteered the members of my book group - 10 of whom are in that age category. I'd suggest that researchers personally contact olde
