Thanks for the info, Mike. I was under the impression that in recent times he spent most of his time writing books and enjoying the life of a media superstar. :-) Allen Esterson Former lecturer, Science Department Southwark College, London allenester...@compuserve.com http://www.esterson.org --------------------------------- Re:[tips] Late Night With [Insert Name Of Favorite Scientist] Michael Palij Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:45:06 -0800 On Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:04:28 -0800, Allen Esterson wrote: >Mike Palij linked to this article in the New York Times: > http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/science/mit-physicist-gives-scientists-an-online-interview-outlet.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha26 > >The author of the article John Markoff ("senior writer… writes for the paper's >science section") describes Steven Pinker as an "experimental psychologist".

Recently Pinker has been busier writing for popular audiences, writing reviews, commentaries, etc. than publishing empirical research reports but the short answer to your question is Huang & Pinker 2010 (see list below). PsycInfo lists 91 publications (which is probably an underestimate) for Pinker of which 22 are empirical research reports. I provide a reference list below for these 22 articles. Pinker was particularly influential in the cognitive psychology community in the 1980s with his research on mental imagery. Since then his interests have expanded. Still, he needs to get a good haircut. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu References Berent, I., Pinker, S., & Shimron, J. (1999).
