New ToPIX Content: 7/19/12


New ToPIX Content: 7/19/12


This week we had updates to the Memory in the Classroom page, to a few of the "In the News" pages, the Films page, and the Song List.


New ToPIX Content



Sue Frantz posted a link to the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm memory lists on the Memory in the Classroom page. Thanks Sue for all you do!

A hat tip goes to Brian Kurilla (via Twitter) for a Chronicle column on the Reproducibility Project. This is posted on the Research Methods in the News page.

Some of you may have noticed the buzz earlier in the week about gender and intelligence (i.e., "It's official. Women are smarter than men."). A newspaper article and CNN video have been posted to the Intelligence in the News page. Thanks Christopher Green and Mike Williams (via TIPS)!

Another topic that is sure to spark student interest is age detection by smell. See the Sensation in the News page for more on that. Thanks Mike Palij, by way of TIPS!

A recent article on the inaccurate depictions of schizophrenia in movies was posted to the Films-Fiction page.

And last but not least-- Suzi Shapiro and Maya Aloni sent along some more songs for our growing Song List page. Thanks to Suzi and Maya we now have a classic Pinky and the Brain song and cartoon, and some Gaga...among other artists.
