This is the online list (at:

professors don't want to hear from their students that is cited in the
Orientation textbook. If you have a minute before our 3:00 class today
(if not, that is fine) could you e-mail me with the numbers of the ones
you really dislike. I want to mention this in class today. Thanks,

This is an urban legend that morphed into a research study. It was
attributed to Cambridge University and someone at Cambridge decided to
investigate the claims.

I know we have talked about this in the past--the message below was
sent to me by a student and I have seen it before as being attributed
to a Harvard study. Does anyone know any more about the underlying
'facts' of this supposed study. After all, it does work! I'd like to
bring it up in the chapter on language in both intro and cognition
that
we are just getting to as I am sure other students have seen it. One
student asked me if it represents a type of Gestalt principle of
organization. I'm not sure to the extent that this goes a bit beyond
perception. Any better info among tipsters?

quite understandable when someone says it was a large mouse that ran up
the trunk of a small elephant" (S. S. Stevens, 1958)
