Re: [tips] Low light level cone function
Just a quick response--in some respects, we do have that blind spot, which is why you can't look directly at a dim star at night if you want to see it. Furthermore, our eyes are never still, so even if we are looking at something, there is enough jitter for the foveal area to be filled in. The fovea is pretty darned small, as well. Also, memory is an amazing contributor to perception. Happy Friday, Carol On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 1:47 PM Rick Stevens wrote: > > TIPS had been quiet lately.

Re: [tips] If You Have Republican Students, Teach Them The Difference between Science and Ideology
Sadly, I had a student in my office today who wanted to talk about becoming an environmental activist. I told him he was better served by our biology department than our psychology department (simply because we don't have the resources to offer the courses that might help him, such as animal behavior, comparative cognition, etc.). I then asked a leading question about whether the current administration's view on science troubled him. He was relatively uninformed and didn't know what I was talking about. I don't know what his political affiliation is (I'm not sure he has one), but what made me sad is that there are young people who either don't have time or don't have other reasons to be engaged in current politics. My advice to him was to try to stay abreast of current events. I showed him a booklet published by the Heartland Institute as an example of the kind of climate change denial he will be up against, but I am not sure it really sunk in. I'm never sure when I'm overstepping my bounds and will end up on a watch list. I'm also not sure what difference it makes.

[tips] to deceive or not to deceive
Good afternoon, TIPSters. I have a question regarding IRBs and informed consent. My students submitted their proposal and created a "working title" for their study that doesn't reveal their real intent (they are looking at memory rather than attention). To disclose the true nature of the study to participants would nullify the results by creating demand characteristics. Does this qualify as deception? Is there some rule somewhere (either an APA or an NIH OHSR rule or code) that addresses this specifically?

Re: [tips] Opinions needed
Hi Annette, I didn't hear about the hearing loss risk factor, but I did hear about the sleep one. The thought is that sleep apnea is associated with poor quality sleep and promotes the formation of beta amyloid and tau proteins. Poor quality sleep (too little or interrupted) seems to be a stressor, resulting in build up of stress-related proteins. Since sleep apnea is associated with controllable factors such as obesity and use of breathing stabilizers (e.g., CPAP), it is something one can reduce. Now the hearing one is a different story, and I would have to agree that it might be correlated in the same way that loss of olfaction is related, but not necessarily a risk factor. That's my take on it, but then again, I'm not a stats person by any means.

[tips] thanks for replies about text reviews
Thank you all for taking time to answer my question about text reviews. I have always reviewed texts honestly and for some reason it occurred to me that maybe that wasn't what the publishers wanted. I reviewed one the other day that just didn't seem all that great to me and my feedback to the publisher reflected that opinion. Then I felt bad because they thanked me profusely and sent me a check even though I didn't really like their book. On the other hand, I've had the pleasure of reviewing two books recently that I liked very much. One was a proposal for a new text book, and I sincerely hope it gets published. I provided fairly extensive comments and suggestions. The other was for an updated edition of an existing text, and I also liked it very much. This is what happens when Mike P. posts something that makes me lose sleep--I start fretting over all sorts of things. ;) <-- note the wink and smile. Thanks again, I really do appreciate the feedback.

[tips] FDA ban on certain devices
I found this article to be interesting: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/862347?nlid=104025_3901=wnl_newsalrt_160422_MSCPEDIT=74182ET=1070126=1 It was posted on Medscape, and if you don't want or don't have access to Medscape, it discusses electrical stimulation devices (ESDs). I am copying and pasting an exerpt from the Medscape post here because I believe it to be relevant to all sorts of teaching, including operant conditioning (positive punishment), psychological disorders, ethical treatment, and I suppose sensation and perception (though I probably wouldn't use the article for that class). ESDs give electrical shocks via electrodes attached to the skin of individuals for the purpose of conditioning them to stop self-injurious or aggressive behavior. "The medical literature shows that ESDs present risks of a number of psychological harms including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, fear, panic, substitution of other negative behaviors, worsening of underlying symptoms, and learned helplessness (becoming unable or unwilling to respond in any way to the ESD); and the devices present the physical risks of pain, skin burns, and tissue damage," according to the FDA's proposed rule <https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/04/25/2016-09433/banned-devices-electrical-stimulation-devices-used-to-treat-self-injurious-or-aggressive-behavior> . Many people in whom the devices are used have intellectual or developmental disabilities that limit their ability to communicate their pain or give consent. The FDA says that because these risks cannot be eliminated by changes to the labeling, it is necessary to ban the devices to protect public health. "Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of the individuals who are exposed to these devices," William Maisel, MD, MPH, acting director of the Office of Device Evaluation in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in an agency news release. "These devices are dangerous and a risk to public health — and we believe they should not be used." The subjective experience of the exposed individual can be difficult to predict. "[V]arious...factors such as sweat, electrode placement, recent history of shocks, and body chemistry can physically affect the sensation. As a result, the intensity or pain of a particular set of shock parameters can vary greatly from patient to patient and from shock to shock" the FDA explains. "Possible adverse psychological reactions are even more loosely correlated with shock intensity in that the shock need not exceed certain physical thresholds. Rather, the shock need only be subjectively stressful enough to cause trauma or suffering. Trauma becomes more likely, for example, when the recipient does not have control over the shock or has developed a fear of future shocks, neither of which is an electrical parameter of the shock."

Re: [tips] bottom up processing in humans
Hi Annette, I would argue that both bottom-up and top-down work together and are both ways of describing things from different perspectives. We assemble the sensations into a whole--for example, in vision we assemble the size, shape, movement (or lack thereof), color, and other components into a cohesive whole (where the "binding" occurs is up for grabs). Then we take that assemblage and make our best guess about what it is using prior experience. Usually it works, occasionally it doesn't. My most graphic (to me) example is when I looked at two somewhat dim, red lights on a dark county highway that I perceived as reflectors guiding my path. It wasn't until I crashed into the back of a stopped pickup truck that I realized my top-down processing led me to the wrong assumption. Luckily, nobody was hurt (though the car was totaled). Since I no longer trust my night driving, I've become very cautious and attempt to assure myself that it is in fact a highway before me.

Thank you all for your great responses. Mike, I knew I could count on you, and yes, I read your message in its entirety. :) Why I lumped all of that together is that it is all lumped together in the unit we are on. I talked about each separately, but since my students tend to be math phobes, I wanted to not only convey how each procedure is carried out, but really wanted some mundane examples in addition to practical. And Annette, I am reading through the information on Wixted's page.

[tips] signal detection and ROC curves
Dear TIPSters, I am currently teaching about the Theory of Signal Detectability, Stevens's Power Law, and ROC curves in my Sensation and Perception course. Do any of you have any examples that you work on in class or use to illustrate how to implement them? I want to do several things. First, I want to be able to explain the logic of SDT, the power law, and ROCs. Second, I want to be able to make the topics relevant and convince the students that these concepts are active in their daily lives. And third, I want to give them some opportunities to practice. I've already talked about hits, misses, false alarms, and correct rejections in class, and using payoffs to manipulate response criteria, now I want to make it all applicable.I welcome any and all ideas. Thank you very much.

[tips] Would you use a hen or a rooster for cock soup?
Inquiring minds want to know: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/food-trends/hen-or-rooster---do-you-want-to-know-your-meats-gender/article1359695/ Many customers are starting to ask for male chickens, he says, because female birds are believed to have higher levels of naturally-occurring hormones, which some people want to avoid. But, according to associate professor Gregoy Bedecarrats of the University of Guelph’s Department of Animal and Poultry Science, the biological half-life of naturally-occurring hormones, such as estrogen, is fairly short. The likelihood of these hormones accumulating in the tissue or fat of the birds, then surviving the processing and cooking, is low and wouldn’t affect consumers’ health. While male birds may have slightly higher levels of testosterone and females could have minimally higher estrogen levels, broiler chickens, those typically found in grocery stores, reach only about seven weeks of age, so their hormone levels are low, Dr. Bedecarrats says. Hormones aside, however, there’s also a difference in the physical composition of male and female chickens, Mr. Gundy says. “Female chickens have more fat. Male chickens yield more protein, which means there’s actually more of the meat,” he says, noting that while he can’t distinguish any difference in taste, there is a difference in the way it feels in the mouth. “You know you have a big fatty steak, you can tell there’s that satiating fat going on? With a female chicken, you get more of that fatty flavour – not greasy, but you can just tell there’s more fat.” -- Carol DeVolder, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology St. Ambrose University 518 West Locust Street Davenport, Iowa 52803 563-333-6482 --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: [tips] Is This Dress Red And Green?
This is nice! Thank you for posting it. On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 4:59 PM, Charles S. Harris xch...@gmail.com wrote: Colors of the dress Alan Gilchrist First note that the alternative color pairs that people see, white/gold or blue/black, have something in common. In each case the two colors stand in the same relationship to each other. They differ only in the way the relationship is anchored. The basic rule used by the human eye to anchor colors is this: The brightest part of a scene is automatically seen as white and this serves as the standard (or anchor) to which darker surfaces are compared. The question is, what is meant by the brightest part in this photo, the brightest part of the dress, or the brightest part of the entire photo? In the real world, with far more context available, everyone would see the colors in the same way. But the limited context makes the photo ambiguous. Some observers seem to ignore the brighter (and yellower) background, treating the dress itself as a separate framework. They see the lighter part of the dress as white (because it is the brightest part of the dress). Relative to that, the darker part is gold. Other observers take the bright background as the standard of white. Relative to that the lighter part of the dress is blue, and the darker part is dark gray, perhaps black. These two ways of seeing the dress are simulated in the two images shown here. http://tinyurl.com/Dress-simulation The first image simulates the experience of people who segregate the dress from the background. The background of the dress has been removed and replaced by black. Here the dress appears white and gold. The second image simulates the experience of people who do not segment the dress from the background. Here samples of the two colors of the dress are surrounded by the background color. In this case, when the dress colors can only be seen in relation to the bright background color, they appear blue and black. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: devoldercar...@gmail.com.

[tips] While we are on the subject...
This recently appeared via Medscape: *What is Restless Genital Syndrome?* You can access it here: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/840692?src=wnl_edit_specoluac=74182ETimpID=637118 It is described as a condition wherein: -- Patients complain of a discomfort in their genital area which can be described as a burning sensation, tingling, pain, itching, or throbbing. Often they say that it is difficult to find a word to describe their symptoms. It has been observed that symptoms tend to be worse when patients are sitting or lying down, particularly in the evening, and can be alleviated by standing and walking. In some cases, patients report an urge to get up and move, which would be an important clue for the diagnosis of RGS. The association with typical RLS symptoms and periodic limb movements while asleep would strongly support this diagnosis. There is more, and the interested reader can read it on his or her own.

Re: [tips] Hey Guys! Stop Worrying!
OMG---when I first read the abstract I thought the measurements were in inches. I was stunned. Conclude what you will... On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 2:31 PM, Mike Palij m...@nyu.edu wrote: A new research study/meta-analysis of, uh, y'know length, indicates that the normal length is likely less than what most think. The research was published in the journal -- I kid you not -- BJU International, a Wiley journal. For those who are curious, see: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10./bju.13010/full The results section of the abstract make interesting reading but probably only if one is fluent in the metric system; quoting: |Results | |Nomograms for flaccid pendulous [n = 10 704, mean (sd) 9.16 (1.57) cm] |and stretched length [n = 14 160, mean (sd) 13.24 (1.89) cm], erect length |[n = 692, mean (sd) 13.12 (1.66) cm], flaccid circumference [n = 9407, |mean (sd) 9.31 (0.90) cm], and erect circumference [n = 381, mean (sd) |11.66 (1.10) cm] were constructed. Consistent and strongest significant |correlation was between flaccid stretched or erect length and height, |which ranged from r = 0.2 to 0.6. Limitations: relatively few erect |measurements were conducted in a clinical setting and the greatest |variability between studies was seen with flaccid stretched length. I'm sure that some Tipsters will be able to work in the above into their statistics classes. Possibly for the most interesting use of means and standard deviations. There are a number of correlations reported between you-know-what and other body parts/variables but they are not consistent (sorry guys with big feet), but, clearly, more research needs to be done. Of course, such momentous results have caught the eye of the mass media and interest is rising. See for example, the UK's Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/mar/03/the- results-are-in-study-reveals-average-penis-size or the Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/ health-fitness/health/Are-you-worried-about-your-penis-size- Read-on/articleshow/46443857.cms and, for the metrically challenged, HuffPo: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/03/average-penis-size- comprehensive-review_n_6791672.html Now, if anyone has taught a Sexuality and Behavior course, I think they won't be too surprised by these results. However, anyone who gets their knowledge about other guys junk from porno will probably be surprised.

Re: your question of psychopathy as a diagnostic qualifier, yes, it is now a specifier for antisocial personality disorder in DSM-5 Section III, which will be used for research purposes but is not in the main section of the manual. So psychopathy is still not used formally for clinical purposes. I haven’t read Ronson’s book in full, although from what I’ve been able to discern, it’s pretty dreadful and actually perpetuates many of the same misconceptions we address in the attached article. There are many far, far better books about psychopathy, including Hervey Cleckley’s classic “The Mask of Sanity” (initially published in 1941, last revised in 1988), Robert Hare’s (1993) “Without Conscience,” and my late Ph.D. mentor David Lykken’s (1995), “The antisocial personalities.” I often assign sections of all three books for undergraduates and graduate students in my lab. For a more scholarly, research-based perspective, Christopher Patrick’s edited “Handbook of psychopathy” (2006, Guilford), which is currently being revised and updated, is still the standard. Two of my graduate students, Ashley Watts and Sarah Francis Smith, published a (mostly negative) review of Ronson’s book a few years ago; I can try to send that along at some point (although I don’t seem to have it handy). I agree with David that psychopathy is better supported scientifically than is antisocial personality disorder; unfortunately, tradition in psychiatry dies hard. In fairness to the American Psychiatric Association Board of Trustees, which vetoed the new proposal for personality disorders at the 11th hour, the new dimensional system for personality disorders (including psychopathy) had not been sufficiently tested by the time DSM-5 was nearing publication. Hence, its presence in Section III rather than in the main section of the manual. That may change soon, however. …Scott Scott O.

The closest diagnosis is antisocial personality disorder, but psychopathy is a more narrowly defined term and one not used at all in DSM, even as a specifier for the aforementioned APD. Keep in mind the American Psychiatric Association, when publishing the most recent edition of DSM, had a great deal of controversy regarding the chapter on personality disorders, in the end making absolutely no changes from the prior edition. As one who is interested in said topic, i found this reprehensible. Psychopathy would be a much more useful diagnostic term than APD. As for books, let me check when Im next in the office.

Re: [tips] HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y'ALL!
Thanks, Mike, and yes, I really did want to know. I'm a terribly naive Midwesterner who doesn't always see humanity in all its shame (we have cornfields that hide a multitude of sins). What troubles me is whether there is any way to prevent this absence of human dignity. Are there public restrooms available in New York (and other massive confinement operations), are they relatively save? Easily accessed? Are there ways of preserving human dignity? Is it futile? I've become a bit (make that a huge bit) of a cynic, but I still hope to leave the world a better place when it is done with me. I know that I take basic restroom convenience for granted, but never stopped to consider those who can't or don't. I once read of a nun who spends her days washing the feet of the homeless, removing their callouses, and giving them a clean pair of socks and shoes without holes. That to me is the pinnacle of serving. I can't see myself doing that (I don't like feet for one thing), but it has made me think about other ways. The idea of someone who has lost enough dignity to defecate on the subway (which reminded me of the pathos of Midnight Cowboy) really troubles me. Perhaps I'm just being negative on this dawn of a new year...and perhaps this should have been a private message to just Mike, but I'd be interested in others' thoughts.

Re: [tips] And a tip o' the sun to ye too.
My eyesight was never very good at night, and it's gotten worse--especially after I had cataract surgery. I think about things like sensation and perception when I'm driving at night and how the principle of pragnanz applies especially in the dark. Then I think about the epic fails that have happened when I was driving. For example, the time I was trying to read the wording on a bridge I thought I was going to go under and realized it said Roadway and was on the back of a semi. I managed to read that one in time. Another time I was navigating a dark county road in Missouri and using roadside reflectors to aim my car. Suddenly I realized that the two reflectors in the distance that I had been using to center myself were actually two dusty taillights on a stopped pickup truck right in front of me. That realization came a bit too late; and though I totaled my daughter's brand new car, nobody was hurt. I tend to not drive at night now unless I really have to, and the waning light of winter makes that a necessity. I'm glad the sun will be getting stronger. I can't handle too much more top-down processing. :) cd On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 6:58 AM, Annette Taylor tay...@sandiego.edu wrote: My very favoritest holiday of the year!

Why, you tell them that they actually did NOT lose. For example, you might email your supporters and emphasize all those places where democrats did win. You might, for example, say these sorts of things: - “..you made a real difference in this campaign. You should take a look at what you made possible.” - “We registered more voters, and made more phone calls, and knocked on more doors than ever before.” - “We’re so glad you gave us the chance to execute that voter registration program -- it made all the difference.” - “We defeated Rep.

Yes, negative after images go to their opposites — each primary becomes a secondary, and vice versa. When the student says “the red-green opposite we were taught,” does s/he mean taught in your class or just “taught” by her past. Lots of people say that red and green are opposites, but it is important to remember that there is a lot of “slippage” in color-naming. In particular, “magenta” and “cyan” are not words commonly used in colloquial language and so nearby primary names are often substituted. In addition, when kids are taught colour mixing, it is often with pigments rather than light, and so it is subtractive mixing they are taught rather than additive mixing (which is why “everyone” comes to perception class thinking that mixing “blue” and “yellow” results in “green” — which they do, subtractively). The additive primaries are identical to the subtractive secondaries, and vice versa. BUT, no one ever calls the subtractive primaries “cyan, “magenta, and “yellow. They are always called “blue, “red, and “yellow. There is lots more to this topic, but I don’t want to bore everyone here. Write me off line if you would like to not more about the relation between additive and subtractive mixing. Images like the one above are rarely rendered exactly accurately. True additive primary red is a little more orange than people expect it to be (what North Americans think of a “pure” red actually has a bit of blue in it, a cultural convention that caused Japanese car makers all kinds of consternation when they first tried to sell red cars in the US). Also the additive primary blue appears to North American to be closer to violet (indeed, Helmholtz called it violet in his classic textbook on the topic). I hope this helps. Best, Chris …..

Re: [tips] Fwd: Media representations of schizophrenia?
I know I've said this before, but the film, Out of Darkness, starring Diana Ross, is one of the best portrayals of schizophrenia (and its effect on the family in addition to the individual) that I have ever seen. It's actually available here as a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjX4bNiyKZE It doesn't misrepresent it, rather, it's a brilliant representation.

This is available at: http://ps.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleid=1148545 I provide the abstract to this below.

The pervasiveness and nature of misinformation are difficult to ascertain because of the lack of empirically based studies of movies portraying schizophrenia. This study analyzed portrayals of schizophrenia in contemporary movies to ascertain prevalence of stereotypes and misinformation about schizophrenia. Methods: English-language movies featuring at least one main character with schizophrenia that were released for showing in theaters between 1990 and 2010 were analyzed for depictions of schizophrenia. Two researchers independently rated each character with a checklist that assessed demographic characteristics, symptoms and stereotypes, causation, and treatment. Results: Forty-two characters from 41 movies were identified, a majority of whom were male and Caucasian. Most characters displayed positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Delusions were featured most frequently, followed by auditory and visual hallucinations. A majority of characters displayed violent behavior toward themselves or others, and nearly one-third of violent characters engaged in homicidal behavior. About one-fourth of characters committed suicide. Causation of schizophrenia was infrequently noted, although about one-fourth of movies implied that a traumatic life event was significant in causation. Of movies alluding to or showing treatment, psychotropic medications were most commonly portrayed. Conclusions: The finding that misinformation and negative portrayals of schizophrenia in contemporary movies are common underscores the importance of determining how viewers interpret media messages and how these interpretations inform attitudes and beliefs both of the general public and of people with schizophrenia.

Re: [tips] Biological/Physiological Psychology Behavioral Neuroscience
My take on this is that biological psychology or physiological psychology as a fairly broad term that encompasses most species; behavioral neuroscience (or more simply neuroscience) does this as well, however the term is simply a sexier version. This (or these) discipline(s) study everything from cell bio (e.g., neurotransmitters, glia, neurocytology) with a definite biochemistry underpinning. Neuropsychology, on the other hand, involves the relationship between biological mechanisms and human behaviors (for the most part). Language in primates, affect in human and non-human animals, neural plasticity, recovery of function--all are part of this, but the emphasis is on people. An offshoot of this is the APA division 40, Clinical Neuropsychology. Personally, I think much of it has to do with the attractiveness of saying I am a neuroscientist rather than I am a biopsychologist. Both may mean the same, but one sounds a whole lot jazzier than the other. My department is crafting an advertisement for a new position--coming soon--and we have been wrestling with this type of wording. Some schools have interdisciplinary neuroscience majors that emphasize philosophy as well, with courses like philosophy of the mind, and consciousness. We are a department that deals with people, we don't have space for animal labs, and our students who go to grad school tend to go on to programs either in clinical psychology, physical therapy, or allied health fields. Our position will reflect our emphasis on the psychology part of it.

So a person could study learning and memory at a more global behavioral level or at a finer tuned level in terms of brain structures, or a even finer tuned level yet at the molecular level. I think that the argument among some (I don't have this perspective so I'm trying to be fair to those who do) is that is that once you get down to cellular levels and below you are no longer a biological psychologist. Is there any sense among tipsters as to any real difference in what a traditional biological psychologist might bring to a department as opposed to a behavioral neuroscientist? We are at a crucial growth junction having initiated a program in behavioral neuroscience to complement our program in psychological science. The feeling among some is that the biological psychologist would be better serve the general psychological science program in the sense of preparing students who want to go into areas such as human relations/business or into law school or even into clinical areas with less than a PhD--i.e., areas that need a fundamental understanding of brain/behavior relationships, but not so finely tuned to the cellular levels and below. I'd appreciate some feedback as to where the field is going. (It seems to be that interdisciplinary neuroscience is the direction but I could be wrong on that. I'm not sure how to best research this objectively in some way other than looking at the job postings at APA and APS and counting the numbers of descriptors used. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph.

[tips] frustrating textbook problem
Dear TIPSters, I chose a text for my sensation and perception course based on several reasons, but one of them had to do with the virtual lab activities that were available to students. The book was costly, but I reasoned that the lab component made it more valuable; some of my students rented the book and then purchased the ancillary package, including the lab. My problem is that I've been trying to gain expertise with the lab so that students can hand in assignments (or email them), but it is not user friendly. I seem to be missing a plug-in on my home computer, so I have to do my exploring at work and the view I get is different from what students see. I've contacted the publisher's tech support, but I get a generic message that give me a number for my job and then a day or so later I get a message that says it's been resolved (it hasn't). I'd like to talk with a real person, but when I try to contact the publisher's rep who convinced me that the book was good, I get radio silence. It's almost February and this has been going on for some time. Do any of you use a book that has CourseMate with it? I'm not sure where to turn next, so any advice would be appreciated. I've been trying repeatedly to get help from the publishing company, but it's to no avail. Arrrggghhh!

[tips] Skinner and humor
Thank you all for your wonderful responses. I know Mike curmudgeonly insisted that being vague was a bad idea, but I disagree. The very vagueness of my question allowed for many very rich responses. In reality, the word humor wasn't as vague as the question, which also included laughter and mirth, both of which ended up being discussed. Laughter is most certainly a behavior and may or may not be associated with mirth or humor; mirth is the emotional state, and may not be suitable for a behaviorist interpretation. Humor tends to imply a stimulus, but isn't always used that way. In short, there are many facets to the topic and you all have provided me with some wonderful responses. Thanks again for a good discussion and great suggestions. Oh, and Mike I was kidding about curmudgeonly.

Re: [tips] While we are on the topic of Skinner
Thanks, Mike and Paul (Paul responded back channel as he had already squandered his posts yesterday :) ) Mike, I have read many of the things you mentioned and I'm familiar with Darwin's take on it, as well as the changes through the centuries *vis a vis *the various philosophers. I have not found anything specifically behaviorist that addresses my question, except for the link that Paul sent me, which I enjoyed very much (thanks again, Paul). I find it interesting that, given the amount of time we spend engaging in things that make us laugh, invoke a feeling of mirth, or both, there isn't more from a behaviorist perspective. I don't believe that behaviorists are grim by nature (I consider myself a behaviorist, and I don't think I'm grim), but I haven't found much literature that addresses humor and its associated constructs from a behaviorist perspective. It just seems like something's missing, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something of which I should be aware. I'm definitely not as well-read as some TIPSters, so I turn to you all for ideas.

I realize I'm being vague--that's on purpose. :) A few points to consider: (1) If you have not examined the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's entry on humor, I suggest that you do since it gives an interesting overview of the philosophical/religious opinions concerning the nature of humor and whether engaging in humor should be considered socially acceptable. See: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/humor/ The early negative view of humor is captured in Umberto Eco's book and movie The Name of the Rose where a book by Aristotle on humor plays a significant, if deadly, role. For the book, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_rose For the movie, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_of_the_Rose_%28film%29 In recent centuries, alternative philosophical interpretations of humor have developed though these may not be directly relevant to psychological theories of humor. (2) I think that there are two opposing perspectives on humor within the behaviorist tradition and perspective: (a) Darwin's work on the expression of emotion in animals and humans suggest that all species experience a core of similar emotions, which serves as a justification for the psychological studies of animals as surrogates for humans and (b) the tendency against anthropomorphizing, that is, interpreting the behavior and internal states of animals/other species (including AI creations like Her) in terms of personal human experiences. One source on this is the Wikipedia entry on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphism But, I believe that behaviorists have developed a more specific and sophisticated view of this position, one such view I think is expressed here: http://www.jstor.org/stable/23006496 The fundamental question is whether behavior in animals that appear similar to human behavior is best described in human terms or in more neutral terms. For example, smiling or laughing in human may be interpreted as the internal experience of humor but does baring one's teeth in a nonthreatening manner and making vocalization of certain types equivalent counterparts in animals? If one believe this to be true, then one can study animals to determine what laws of behavior apply to the behaviors that constitute the experience of humor. If one does not believe in this position, especially if one thinks that language plays a critical role in the experience of humor, then studying animal behavior will tell us little if anything about the experience of humor. If one only limits consideration of humor to humans, I suspect that one can reduce the joke situation or comedic situation (i.e., humor that is primarily physical; consider slapstick humor in silent films) to a simple set of relations: Stimulus(joke/comedy) - Response(Laugh/etc) - Stimulus(Positive/Negative/Null). Given the above, we laugh at a joke, especially ones we have experienced before or ones similar to jokes we have been reinforced for before. We may fail to respond because we were punished for our response (e.g., laughing to racist/sexist/etc jokes) or received no reinforcement for a response (stimuli might be required to indicate that a response should be made like an applause or laugh track to indicate that laughter/etc should be emitted; TV studio audience have an applause sign go as a reminder that they need to clap). This does leave unanswered why certain classes of jokes (e.g., fart jokes) are considered HILARIOUS by some people but disgusting by others; I guess peoples reactions to bodily sounds and functions play a role but that's too Freudian for me. ;-) -Mike Palij New York

Re: [tips] Why is this Funny?
Because of the incongruity. On Sat, Dec 7, 2013 at 1:53 PM, Michael Britt mich...@thepsychfiles.comwrote: I can't seem to get something funny out of my mind and I was wondering if anyone on TIPS and a thought about this. Recently I featured this funny Vine video on my podcast: https://vine.co/v/hOjHxFjDznT I talked about the video in terms of stereotypes, but I keep wondering why the 4x4=16 part is funny. The only concept that came to mind is that of perceptual set. I remember some study where participants are shown a series of pictures of rabbits and then are shown the duck/rabbit illusion. In this case, they see the rabbit easily because as I understand it the researchers have created through the repeated presentations of the rabbit pictures an expectation or a perceptual set for rabbits. So here's what I've been thinking: we're all pretty much used to seeing 4x4 on a blackboard as a multiplication question. When you see 4x4 on a car you used to thinking of it in terms of four by four and not in terms of multiplication. So is the video funny because it forces us to change our way of thinking? It forces us to think of something we typically think of in one way, in another way. But I’m still left with this question: why does sudden switching of perspective make us laugh? Michael Michael A.

Re: [tips] Has anyone ever received this inquiry from a student about APA style?
Perhaps this was mentioned and I missed it, but with respect to James, Susy Smith doesn't seem to include him in the bibliography, and she certainly takes authorship (and most likely remuneration), though she admits that she didn't write the book (it was really James). She states that, although the writing style is clumsier than James would typically use, it's her fault, not his.

Should one just identify this as a personal communication or is there a more appropriate citation and reference? Remember the movie The Shining? At the end, the little boy Danny and his mother escape, implying they have lives beyond the movie. Imagine that Danny grows up, gets a Ph.D. in psychology, and happily writes papers for publication. Remember that as a child Danny acknowledged that there was a little boy named Tony that lived in his mouth (see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/quotes ) Imagine that Tony leaves Danny's mouth and another person moves in, oh, named William James. In the movie, Tony provided suggestions and opinions (e.g., REDRUM) and it is quite possible that as an adult, William James would provide advice to Danny on a number of issues ranging from research design to interpretation of results/issues to advice on writing. How should Danny cite the advice he receives from William James? Consider the following example: Many have interpreted William James' statement on the infant's perception of the world as being 'one great blooming, buzzing confusion' as a statement about the tabula rosa state of the infant's mind, that is, the infant lacks knowledge about the world and to categorize its experience of the different stimuli that it experience (see, for example:Goldman 2013 http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/thoughtful-animal/2012/07/26/ blooming-buzzing-confusion-but-who-is-confused/ ) . But in discussions with William James who lives in my mouth, he tells me that he was actually engaged in a little wordplay and wondered how many people would mistakenly think that he said booming, buzzing confusion instead of blooming, buzzing confusion because of the apparent unusual use of the term blooming for the more consistent word booming (William James, personal communications, November 1, 2013). Indeed, James has expressed some degree of satisfaction over this point because a Google search shows that many people in fact do use booming instead of blooming; see: https://www.google.com/search?num=100safe=offclient= firefox-arls=org.mozilla:en-US:officialchannel=rcsq= great+booming,+buzzing+confusionnfpr=1sa=Xei= N46gUtuoNOrlsATjooHgAQved=0CCoQvgUoAQ .

[tips] Article on circadian rhythm and metabolic disorders
Dear TIPSters, I found this article (Out of Sync) to be a very interesting one. http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/37269/title/Out-of-Sync/ It is from _The Scientist_ and discusses the link between circadian rhythms, zeitgebers, eating, obesity, and metabolic disorders. I plan on having my Brain and Behavior students read it (I made what I hope are helpful notations on the copy I'm having my students read). I think it posits an intriguing account of why we in first world countries, with altered sleeping and eating habits exacerbated by our leisure activity choices, tend to suffer from certain metabolic disorders more often than others. It seems to tie research together in nice ways by linking studies of obesity and studies of sleep to disorders and supporting the work with animal research. It also introduces (or reiterates) the concept of epigenomes. I thought maybe others would be interested in it for their students.

Why alcohol is not listed here is the real question. Oh, and cocaine, methamphetamine (for Breaking Bad fans), oxycodone/OxyContin, adderall, and fentanyl are all Schedule II, that is, are considered less dangerous drugs than marijuana. Here is the DEA page: http://www.justice.gov/dea/druginfo/ds.shtml (2) Back when I was in graduate school at Stony Brook, the famed psychiatrist Max Fink (at SB's Med School's Psychiatry Dept) gave a colloquium in the psychology department on the effect of marijuana on cognitive processes (I forget what specifically he had done but a Google Scholar search for Max Fink and marijuana gets a lot of hits from the 1960s and 1970s. I spoke to Fink after his presentation and asked him if he had considered studying the effects of marijuana use on priming effects on the lexical decision task (Roger Schvaneveldt who was one of the original researchers on this topic was still at Stony Brook at this time). Fink said it would be an interesting thing to do but it was a great big pain in the butt getting funding for any research involving marijuana and if you did get funding, there were all sorts of regulations that one had to follow that really discouraged people from using it in research. He said the really foolish and scary thing was that there was research using new drugs that was far easier to get permission to do and with far less oversight and regulations but the drugs could be far more dangerous than marijuana (how dangerous was unknown but if one checks the side effects/adverse effects of drugs in PDR or one's favorite drug reference, one should not be surprised to see how often death, stroke, cardiac arrest, etc., are listed as side effects). Others have pointed out that U.S. legal policies concerning drugs were not rational, did not really rely upon scientific data, and which drugs were considered safe and which were considered dangerous often involved sociocultural and racial considerations. Draw your own conclusion about the race-drug connection. There is an entry on Fink on Wikipedia and it is mostly concerned with his work with ECT/Electroshock which, as we all know, is far safer than using marijuana. ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Fink For people considering a classroom exercise on the Pro's and Cons of marijuana for medicinal purposes, see the following handout: Http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/files/marijuana_notes.pdf The U.S. can benefit from a more rational drug policy and legislation. That it took this long for Sanjay Gupta to realize this about marijuana is disappointing because that means that there are probably many more physicians who have some unsubstantiated beliefs about pot but what else is new? -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: wuens...@ecu.edu.

raise some interesting questions such as Does North Carolina now have to remove all parts of its state law that are based on English legal traditions as well as that of other European and American (i.e., Canadian, Mexican, South Amereican) traditions? The article ends by pointing out that about 10% of the Africans brought to America in the slave trade and that President Thomas Jefferson held an iftar (end of fasting at nightfall during Ramadan; for more details see: http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/feature/islam-in-america/ ) (5) Guns: Well, I guess everyone knows that one can't be a real SAS programmer unless one is packing serious heat (SAS's world headquarters are in Cary, NC). And the companies in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) know that a worker with a gun is a happy worker (for companies in RTP see: http://www.rtp.org/about-rtp/rtp-companies Among the companies in RTP is the national honor society Sigma Xi. I guess after all those years in New Haven, the society's administrators feel better about being able to shoot first. I point out these things because the gun company Sturm Ruger has decided to move its manufacturing factory from Southport, Connecticut, to Raleigh, N.C. It appears that the gun company did like the atmosphere in Connecticut after the December 14, 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. But NC knows how to make a gun maker feel right at home; see: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/56729531-79/gun-ruger-sturm-connecticut.html.csp And, for now, last but not least, perhaps the most disturbing activity that has brought the wrath of you-know-who on NC: (6) Pet Flipping: this refers to the stealing of pets and then selling them.

Why alcohol is not listed here is the real question. Oh, and cocaine, methamphetamine (for Breaking Bad fans), oxycodone/OxyContin, adderall, and fentanyl are all Schedule II, that is, are considered less dangerous drugs than marijuana. Here is the DEA page: http://www.justice.gov/dea/druginfo/ds.shtml (2) Back when I was in graduate school at Stony Brook, the famed psychiatrist Max Fink (at SB's Med School's Psychiatry Dept) gave a colloquium in the psychology department on the effect of marijuana on cognitive processes (I forget what specifically he had done but a Google Scholar search for Max Fink and marijuana gets a lot of hits from the 1960s and 1970s.
