The behavior is typical among teens — Why didn’t he call? Should I break up with him? And, psychologists say, it has intensified significantly with e-mail, text messaging, instant messaging and Facebook. And in certain cases it can spin into a potentially contagious and unhealthy emotional angst, experts say. katiebda Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:42:51 +0000 september08 kdqpp research http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2008/08/17/confidence_game/ "Trust is the baseline," says Susan Fiske, a social psychologist at Princeton University. "Trustworthiness is the very first thing that we decide about a person, and once we've decided, we do all kinds of elaborate gymnastics to believe in people." katiebda Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:47:21 +0000 august08 trust research http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/c/6/topics.asp How the Internet affects the groups where we live and work, including how they grow and change, their social dynamics, and the activities we do there. katiebda Tue, 12 Aug 2008 01:26:36 +0000 dm2 research august08 http://scienceblogs.com/developingintelligence/ In his blog, Chris Chatham, tackles "developmental and computational cognitive neuroscience, comparative psychology, psychometrics, and artificial intelligence." ryan Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:03:38 +0000 blog brain research psychology cyborg artificial intelligence memory learning http://www.frankwbaker.com/mediause.htm katiebda Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:47:03 +0000 august08 research dm2 http://cyberpsych.yeda.info/ katiebda Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:41:12 +0000 august08 book research http://www.cortland.edu/education/dissdir/ Doctoral Research in Educational Technology: A Directory of Dissertations, 1977-2006 ziegeran Sun, 03 Aug 2008 07:11:39 +0000 research dissertations technology collection http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/books/27reading.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 Children like Nadia lie at the heart of a passionate debate about just what it means to read in the digital age. Some literacy experts say that reading itself should be redefined. Interpreting videos or pictures, they say, may be as important a skill as analyzing a novel or a poem. katiebda Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:19:51 +0000 july08 dm2 research literacy http://www.consciousness.arizona.edu/mission.htm The Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona was formed in 1998 with a seed grant from the Fetzer Institute. The Center is a unique institution whose aim is to bring together the perspectives of philosophy, the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, the social sciences, medicine, and the physical sciences, the arts and humanities, to move toward an integrated understanding of human consciousness. The Center is unique in its broad spectrum approach. Other groups tend focus either on cognitive neuroscience, philosophy or purely phenomenal experiential approaches, whereas the Center not only integrates these areas, but "thinks outside the box" of conventional wisdom which has thus far, at least, failed to make significant breakthroughs. The Center has also inspired other groups such as the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness and those who organize other conferences. kse Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:13:56 +0000 brain mind consciousness university of arizona research psychology http://www.uac.arizona.edu/VSC443/invertebrate/Invertebrates_as_biomodels07.htm Olfaction: Researchers at the University of Arizona are using moths to study olfaction (smell). Phermones produced by the female are key in the attraction of male moths and crucial for reproductive success. Other invertebrates, including nematodes and crustaceans, have also been used in olfaction studies. Olfactory learning is studied in bees and flies. kse Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:07:12 +0000 smell evocative research university of arizona http://www.techlearning.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196605276 The Top 10 Great Things Technology Leaders Do sbrandt Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:42:46 +0000 edtech research tech integration http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/229/report_display.asp 12/16/2007 "Internet users are becoming more aware of their digital footprint; 47% have searched for information about themselves online, up from just 22% five years ago.
