New ToPIX Content: 3/21/2011

A few weeks ago many of you contributed your examples of positive and negative correlations.  If you have additional examples, you’re welcome to edit the page or add your comments at the bottom of the page.

Steve Jones pointed out that the bobo doll video on the Video: Learning page was no longer available.  He was kind enough to find another one for us.  If you were looking for that video, it’s back.  Thanks Steve!

In digging through some old emails, I found the April 2010 Dateline episode, “What Were You Thinking?”  Dateline recreates some classic social psych experiments.

Not long ago we got a Roku box in preparation for ditching satellite and going internet only.  Last night I discovered that TED now has a Roku channel.  The first video I watched was Deb Roy of MIT.  He wired his house to record video and audio, beginning the day he and his wife brought home their newborn son. He is able to track when his son was exposed to language, for example ‘water,’ and where, for example in the kitchen.  You can find his talk under Video: Language.

There have been a number of psychology-related news stories lately.  Here are some that I’ve added. 
In the News:
Consciousness:  There’s a new robotic surgery for sleep apnea.
Psychological Disorders:  A journalist and his son talk about the son’s schizophrenia diagnosis.
Comparative Psych:  This category debuts with an elephant intelligence test.
