Once again it is time to start thinking about casting your vote for the
1998 Darwin Award winner! As you may already know, the Darwin Awards are true
stories for those nominees who contribute to the gene pool by dying in
spectacularly stupid ways before they breed (thankfully). The 1998 nominees
Jean Edwards asked about a story that Joyce Brothers was tossed out of
the APA for an ethical infraction, and Jim Matiya then asked:

Of course, that does raise an interesting question. Does the nonfoveated

In regard to the discussion of Sperling's study, does anyone know what

but I have never seen his name mentioned anywhere else. (Of course, this

He was at NYU until the early 90s (he was gone by the time I got
there in 1993) then he and his wife Barbara Dosher went to UC Irvine.
He is still quite in vision research. Pretty impressive

George Sperling is, in fact, still quite an active researcher. My directories
list him at the University of California at Irvine. He had a paper at the
November Psychonomic Society on "Measuring the amplification factor of
attention to color." His interests seem to be directed more toward

An experiment somewhat similar to the one Pat describes has been done (a

I'd like to point out, as gently as possible, that perhaps we are engaging
in a bit of unprofessional behavior. Though Dr. Brothers has certainly
crossed the line into public life and, in my mind at least,
Hi all,
For the last several semesters, I've been doing a "psychic"
demonstration (reading through sealed envelopes -- Another one of
those handy TIPS suggestions!) to get students into hypothesis

Can anyone recommend a text that reviews some of the central issues that psychology has

Sure, after you've picked your card, when they show you the next set of cards none of
the new cards are the old ones, thus the one you picked is not there either. Cute

TIPSters,
I've stayed mute on the subject of Joyce Brothers, but it's
really beginning to trouble me that the posts make TIPS sound

"How could she do that?" To accuse a
