Listgang,
1) Is there a biological basis for stuttering?
2) Are psychologists still investigating "alpha wave states" as being better
for learning etc.? Or has this been debunked as pseudoscience?
Thanks for any help you can give!

A student in my child psychology class said something that really has me
puzzled. She said that when she was pregnant, her fetus was diagnosed with
a heart problem. She went on that the doctor said that, in order to see if
the heart was getting enough oxygen to the brain, he would somehow
I am in search of a response to a thread I remember from last year. Can
someone please let me know how to access the TIPS archives! For some reason,
I have completely missed this aspect of TIPS over the last few years of
involvement.

Another bad excuse for take-homes:
Twice in my 12 years here I have missed most of a semester because of
illness. Since I could not be certain that critical material was covered by
my substitute, I have constructed a take-home final that would require that
they construct a major essay or two on

Your question reminded me of something that I learned about 15 years ago. I
did a PubMed search but could not find the paper that I was looking for. I
did find a number of papers that describe the measurement of fetal breathing
movements in normal fetuses. I have included the link for
The John/Joan case is one of the most unusual and important in the
field of sex research. John/Joan was a Canadian baby who had his
penis burned off accidentally. Although a normal biological male, he

I think the decision of whether to use take-home in in-class tests
depends upon your educational goals. If knowledge acquisition is a
goal, then in-class

The only reason I can think of why a preterm baby may be heavier than expected, and
why the doctor would actually be concerned about
it, would be if the mother has diabetes (gestational or otherwise).

Title: Re: John/Joan case
This summer I saw the film called The Remarkable Story of John/Joan
at the APA. It was packed, as you can imagine, and was interesting, with
interviews with John (he rejected the Joan), and a very, very critical
view of John Money, saying he wrote papers about how

not necessarily. I give some multiple choice questions on open-book, open-note
take home tests (and they don't get them all right!:-\ ). I also give
short-answer questions, and tell students that I will not read anything beyond

I don't have a problem with this, actually. I encourage students to work
