But Kenneth McGraw, associate professor of psychology at the University of Mississippi, cautions that this does not mean behaviorism itself has been invalidated. “The basic principles of reinforcement and rewards certainly work, but in a restricted context” — restricted, that is, to tasks that are not especially interesting.
Start at the top... skip to there when bored... resume. It's very nifty.
Finally... if we could all be so selfless.

Attention training games.
I'll be delving into ADHD and looking
I wonder how games like HALO that force a child to split their attention with a HUD or Radar affect the child?
Maybe I should do Developmental Game Programming for a living.

Experimental influences on multimodal perception of emotion.
"This study suggests that women are picking up on facial cues that are perhaps related to paternal qualities,'' said James Roney, a University of California at Santa Barbara psychologist and lead author of the study. "The more they perceived the men as liking kids, the more likely they could see having a longer-term relationship."

"Our results show that an unconsciously perceived signal of threat, such as a brief facial expression of fear, can still bubble up and unwittingly influence social judgments and how we act," said Paller's colleague Wen Li, also at Northwestern.
"Experts said evolution has apparently programmed women to recognize men who might be interested in propagating the species by raising a family."
We're all programmed... that's why women seem so interested in 'financially stable' men and find them more interesting.
The study wasn't all bad news for men not interested in settling down. It found that women can look at men's faces and figure out which of them have the highest testosterone levels. Those men -- rated the most masculine by the women -- turn out to be just the kind of guys they would want for a fling.
Itcosts 285 dollars for a test of testosterone levels... hmm... I wonder if there are any companies doing tests for statistics... maybe I could find a study. I'm always interested in learing more about myself.
Though I guess my testosterone levels are normal or higher, my facial hair grows fast... and I think about women too often.

Competing for a mate can wear a guy out or get him killed.
To impress women, men remain prone to risky behavior.

Really interesing. I forgot about pheremones for a while.
"Romantic love is one of the most powerful of all human experiences," says Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University. "It is definitely more powerful than the sex drive."

Subliminal messages.

Funny, so if everyone smiled, everyone would be nicer! Maybe the japanese tradition of 'wearing masks' when unhappy (if you ever see a japanese person smiling at a funeral, understand that they do it to hide the pain) could make the world a better place. Remember, though, you need to let things out. If you bottle everything up, it'll eat away at you from the inside... and extreme events like the death of a loved one definately needs to be let out. (though, denial is really common).

Here's some free subliminal software, I wonder if it can do mathematical formulae.

According to Key, despite the fact the embedded words are not consciously perceived, they are unconsciously perceived and can elicit sexual arousal which in turn makes the products more attractive to consumers <13>.
