Monkeys Count, What’s Next?
Over the past few years the topic of nonhuman primate cognition has been the focus of some of the most interesting and contentious debates in cognitive psychology. The variety of exceptional cognitive abilities displayed by nonhuman primates has intrigued many of the most active and influential researchers in our discipline. With the application of computer technology to the nonhuman primate research arena numerous new abilities, capacities, and applications have been discovered. Computer-based studies of nonhuman primate short-term memory, long-term memory, visuospatial working memory, attention, and numerical cognition will be discussed. Additionally, studies of the negative impact of long term exposure to microgravity (e.g., spaceflight) on nonhuman primate cognition will be discussed.

Darwin Day/Week activities
February 25, 2009
Hey Ya’ll
If you have any kinda chance go to hear the speaker for Darwin Day. Word around is its gonna be great:
Dr. Craig Nelson will be speaking Wednesday evening, February 25th, at 7 p.m. in the HNS Auditorium on Evolution, Creation, or Both? This event is open to the public!
Dr. Craig Nelson is Professor Emeritus at Indiana University. An evolutionary ecologist, Craig is an expert on evolution, integrating science and religion, and “creation science.” He also researches teaching, especially the teaching of critical thinking. His biological research (60+ publications) has been on evolution and ecology. His articles on teaching (20+) address critical thinking and mature valuing, diversity, active learning, teaching evolution, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. He has presented invited workshops at national meetings and institutions in 37 states and 8 countries. He co-directed a series of national institutes for high school biology teachers on “Evolution and the Nature of Science” and was founding Director of IU’s Environmental Program. In addition, he was the founding president of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. He received the highest award bestowed by Indiana University, as well as the President’s awards from both Vanderbilt, and Northwestern Universities. In 2000, he was named the “Outstanding Research and Doctoral University Professor Of The Year by the Carnegie Foundation”.
I have an opportunity to go to a workshop on Thursday morning that he is presenting. I’m going to take it, so… class cancelled for 2/26. Use this time wisely to read and reflect on our current material.
Best, prof_chuck
