Carol, I thought the FUN group sounded interesting. I asked a psych colleague
here in the college of Health and Human Services if he was familiar with it.
Gulphe is Jeffrey Smith, and he wrote back quickly. He is the current
president of Fun and attended the summer conference of FUN with one
Last year, some students from my adv stats course (taught with SPSS) asked me
to teach them R in the spring. I knew nothing about R, but I’d enjoyed using
Field’s SPSS text to supplement Keppel & Wickens and knew that he had a version

Thanks Chris! Really appreciate the historical context. Alas yes, I revealed my
age and long-ago teaching load by using the "old" language. We are in the
process of revamping the class and always updating.
I agree, it does feel like a clash or accommodation of different cultures!

I am surprised there hasn't been more reactions/discussion here regarding this
issue. The issue seems clearly relevant to History& Systems type classes,
debate about subject matter of psychology, and the place of biological
reductionism in psych programs. Here, while most of us value the neurosc

unwieldy to teach to undergraduates who tend to struggle with the more familiar
