What is the point of all that money if they're still looking for validation on social media?? If you don't want to build libraries or fund public good, fine! At least have the decency to retreat to a private castle like Enya.

The book overall is a really interesting account of the various fields that make up cognitive science! I've looked, but I can't find any other history of cognitive science, let alone one newer than 1985.

The same chapter also included this turn of phrase which is... A choice. That had to be on purpose, right? Howard Gardner had to know how that sounded, right??

When I see headlines like this I question what the goal of the headline is. If the goal is to be inflammatory then it's a fine headline. If the goal is to inform or create a different narrative then "South Bend grew under Buttigieg leadership, data show, despite Trump claims." would work.

By repeating the claim, even though the headline is clarifying that it was false (or at the very least questioning the veracity of the claim), it implies that there was reason to doubt it in the first place. This lends credibility to the very claim the journalist is trying to discredit.

Her original manuscript is scanned and you can see the hand-written corrections on top of the typewritten document, which shows what a labor of love these early manuscripts were.

"It is only by careful investigation under all conceivable conditions that we may obtain any adequate idea of the use and relative value of these factors which appear in the mental habits of normal people."

YES! Tell me more about the need for the science of learning!

"For, if experimental results in the field of memory have demonstrated anything it is that the average person is not sure to use in memorizing the best and most economical methods to help himself."

The field of memory is like 2 decades old in 1909. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose I guess

"[...]The fact that this tendency is to be observed, however, does not justify us in believing without further evidence that recall is a desirable and helpful factor in the learning process."

Yes, go off on why we can't rely on anecdotal evidence!

She opens: "No one who has had experience in memorizing or in watching others memorize an have failed to observe the tendency of the average person when he is reading, to momentarily turn away from the material before him ad repeat it to himself without external aid."

She did this in her master's thesis, "On the Analysis of the Factor of Recall in the Learning Process" which I will try not to think about too closely as the failed results of my master's thesis gathers dust on my bookshelf.

This site has info on the economic impact of NIH in your state, if you want to write your senators about this.

There are different ways to frame social impacts: how this impacts an individual in society, how this plays out at scale in a society, or how society shapes memory. You might search for: false memory, eyewitness testimony, or even some memory disorders (e.g., aphasia)
