Psychology 3906 Presentation Signup Sheet

The 3906 presentation signup sheet is available outside my office (SH 507) on the corkboard to the right of my office door.  If your presentation/essay topic has been approved please feel free to sign up for a time.  Remember, presentations are to be 10 minutes long and on a topic similar to that used in your paper, probably some interesting subsection.  Feel free to ask questions about the presentations by emailing, IMing me or leaving a comment here on the blog.

We have never entertained alphas that high because they would produce wide sweeps in associative strength and yield unstable predictions for many situations.

I would conceptualize flooding not as a case of a high salience but rather as a case of multiple presentations of a stimulus, but neither is really spot on.”
