I still do Fechner. I used to briefly do the DL and JND concepts when I taught
intro (I believe Gleitman's text still covers him). When I taught History of
Psych I did more, starting with Herbart and Leibnitz' concepts on petite
perceptions, a few staged DL demos, then Weber Fechner. I used
A great psychophysics demonstration you can do in class uses money and
hapiness (rather than calibrated lights or sounds). First, ask students
to imagine that they have been given $100. Ask them to get a sense of
how happy that would make them. Then ask them to imagine that they have
been

Fechner, schmechner. Ask the graduate students if they know who Donald Hebb
was. You'll get the same response. Maybe it's the sign of a maturing science.
It's more important to know the facts than the names of those who discovered
them.
Or maybe it's something else.

Wuensch,
Bill,
Learning names and dates is not learning history. They are just the
foundation to learning it. Similarly, learning basic math is not
learning science, but it is a foundation upon which (much of) science
rests. Just like one cannot really get started doing (modern) science
without
Hi
Or a more pessimistic interpretation ... it is a sign of an immature discipline
that its current members do not recognize (a) the foundations of their ideas,
and (b) when they are rediscovering the wheel.
Take care

Baseline measures are usually taken prior to putting an experimental variable
into effect.
It is assumed that any changes below or above the baseline are due to the
manipulation of the experimental vriable.There is a type of experimental design
where the experimental variable
is withdrawn and
So, if I purchase copy of the Publication Manual of the APA, 6th edition, what
printing is now shipping? How long do we wait to make sure we get what we want?
What ISBN do I list for students to ensure they buy the right printing? Is it
an ISBN number change? Inquiring minds want to know!
I have a question
What's the difference between Sternberg's practical intelligence and the
construct of crystallized intelligence (Horn/Catell)?
Seems like Sternberg focuses on tacit knowledge but can't that be considered a
subset of crystallized?

The British Egyptologist E Wallis Budge in his works Egypt-the light of the
world has some interesting facts about early Egyptian science.Interestingly
enough the ideas of Fechner and the other structuralists were already know by
those Egyptians and Africans.As I have reiterated many times
Parent alert: the Walt Disney Company is now offering refunds for all
those Baby Einstein videos that did not make children into geniuses.
They may have been a great electronic baby sitter, but the unusual
refunds appear to be a tacit admission that they did not increase infant
