Hi folks wherever you are:
I hope that my voice won't echo futilely into the summer silence here.
I was wondering if anyone on the list had a demonstration of the workings of
attentional processes and resrouces that could be done without too much
difficulty in a classroom. What I mean is this: an example that Zimbardo
uses in the Discovering Psychology series is the difference between walking
along and talking to a friend under ordinary circumstances, and walking along
and talking to a friend while trying to avoid stepping in puddles because
it's raining - it becomes much more difficult to concentrate on the
conversation. I want something that I can have the students do in class that
duplicates the effects of this.
Also, I posed a question about reading milestones about a month ago, and I
wanted to see if anyone had a list of these from 2 - 6 years of age.
Thanks so much. Looking forward to a resurgence of list activity soon.
