Replication of slowed Go trial RTs in new data.
We've looked at commission errors (responding Go on No Go trials - a common measure of inhibition) as a function of blur.
Here results are not straightforward; simulus blur may increase errors but the pattern is not strong or consistent in 2 expts.

Maybe I take back a bit of what i say - why does this paper not engage with strongly similar general ideas that have been around in social/political psych for a while? To not cite Staub? Gah!! psycnet.apa.org/record/2004-...

This is good. I believe the inevitably rising inequity you mention here is the number one ethical problem.

The return of #dancegrading.
War Pigs has been the theme song of my Portraits of Holocaust Violence class. I’m grading a quiz about memorial architectural approaches to the Holocaust - and how these spaces may affect us. (We consider a few other, non-Holocaust memorials as well).

Imagine doing work so fully accepted that it is not even cited (speaking of the cortical magnification of the foveal area as identified by Roger Tootell).

So many of these kinds of fun reminiscences.
This guy -> knew Jerry Miller (died 2024) of Moby Grape and the comments are about the live Avalon Ballroom version of Dark Magic (I think only two recordings of the song exist).

I was immediately up front for both of these Pickathon shows. I recall photographing (and thus pointing out) a huge slug on the beer holder stump that Joe was using for his beer during the second (Woods Stage) show. My photos:

What even is cancelled?
We've been talking about Riyadh comics taking the bag/cognitive dissonance theory/forced compliance in class. Cash reduces dissonance!
In three links sent to students only the Guardian had the guts to show how thoroughly Louis CK was cancelled.

There are comments out there about how comedians can deal with the cognitive dissonance of performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.
They deal with it just as in Festinger & Carlsmith's 1959 forced compliance paradigm - the payment reduces the dissonance.

Tomorrow in Holocaust Violence we'll - as a 23 student class - walk around campus marking the perimeter of the Treblinka II extermination camp, with students stationed every 60 meters. They'll use their phones & take photos of where they are relative to fellow students.
